Hi folks! I need your help again. I am installing a WAN with about 300 PC clients, distributed over 20 sites. The main server is a Dell PowerEdge2500 ( a Pentium III 933 MHz, 256 KB cache, 512 MB Ram, five 9.1 GB Ultra3 Hot Swap 10 krpm, a RAID SCSI controller, etc). OS is Windows 2000 Server, and other than Active Directory, DHCP and DNS, the server will run only SendMail, and some clients will have virtual disks to backup their files. There are other two servers, for SQL Server production and for SQL Server development.
I never installed RAID, hardly know the theory, then I hired a Windows 2000 expert to install the servers. He decided to configure four 9 GB HD with RAID 5, and leave one as hotspare. The server will have 3 volumes: . volume C with OS ( RAID 5 / 4GB / primary partition) volume D with backup folders and SendMail ( RAID 5 / 4GB / primary partition ) volume E: CDROM What I would like to know : is this the better configuration? is he a true expert?
