I am building another production SQL Server for our services team, and have configured in my default configuration: 2 x 18gig SCSI on RAID 1 = OS & Pagefile 2 x 73gig SCSI on RAID 0 = Logs & tempDB 4 x 73gig SCSI on RAID 5 = SQL Database
The problem is the SQL engineers are questioning the performance of RAID5 for their needs. We are using RAID 0 on the logs because this is transactional data that is not important, and we don't need redundancy here just sheer speed. But they are saying that RAID 0 should be used isntead of RAID5 on the 4 drive array. The bulk of the work on this RAID5 will be data manipulation, where they willl run sql scripts that compress and organize the tables in the database. In my opinion RAID 5 is good for this also. -TOny Thanks for any advice ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
