I have 3 field offices with about 80 users each, that currently have HP E60 servers deployed running Exchange 5.5 with no complaints. Those servers are P3 500 single cpu's, with 512mb ram, and 4 18.2GB 7200rpm disks running raid 5. Currently we don't have any speed issues.
To simplify our coming upgrade process to Exchange 2003, I am considering reconfiguring the following server spec for each office, and shipping them to the offices, and them moving the mailboxes to the new servers. I am looking to buy the following spec: Dell PowerEdge 400SC, P4 2.8ghz with 512mb ram. For storage, I am going to install an SATA raid controller for mirroring and 2, 120gb SATA disks. I think this spec should do quite nicely for my users at these sites, my only doubts are that there might not be enough disk performance to keep them happy. Thoughts?
