For spool and mail boxes, faster is better.

 

Do not user Raid5 for spool or mail boxes. Raid5 is poor on read.

 

Search the archives. There has been a lot of discussion about this in the past.

Subject: [IMail Forum] New Server Specs

 

Hello All:

 

I haven't gotten any responses to any of my other questions that I've sent to the group, hopefully this one will.

 

I'm trying to spec out a new server and had a question for the group in regard to HDD configuration.  What kind of RAID setup works best on a mid-size Imail installation?  Is RAID-1 acceptable or is RAID-5 recommended? Also, would 15K RPM disks make a huge difference as opposed to 10K RPM disks?

 

Thanks,

Jim Frasch
