Use one RAID-1 pair for the OS, one RAID-1 pair for the logs and whatever you need for the IS.

My original plan was to put the OS and Logs on a 9gig mirrored drive and the IS on the 36RAID5. I was little concerned about 9gig not being enough for the logs and OS. I thought using (3) 9gigs in RAID5 which would give me 18 gig would be enough. We have a few 9gig drives available. -----Original Message----- From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:jrwaters@;co.hanover.va.us] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 4:03 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Getting Close to my final configuration I think you should use raid 1 with the 9gig drives x 2. One arm for the OS and one arm for the logs. Even at 400 users I could see the performance increase by putting the logs on a different arm. Why would this save you money? Even if you put the Logs and OS on the same Channel but different arms you would be better off. OS = Raid1 Logs = Raid1 Store = Raid5 -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Avallone [mailto:avallone@;ibiquity.com] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 3:56 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Getting Close to my final configuration Based on your suggestion about properly configuring my new Exchange 2000 box, I have one other question. To save money and time what do you think about using a RAID5 with 9 gig drives for my OS and Logs and use a RAID5 with 36gig drive for my Information Store? Also, is there a document out there that describes how to setup Exchange with multiple drives? It seems pretty straight forward using ESM.
