Creating a new exchange server. Have a powerful Dell server with 5 hot swap drives. 73 gig a piece. How should I partition for Exchange 2000?

Thanks
Mike

Buy a 6th disk, configure 2 as a RAID 1 for the OS and log files the other 4 disks build as RAID 5 with online spare and use for the database.

-------------------------------

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!

My problem is the server is a dell 2650 and only supports 5 drives. so now should I create a raid 1 out of two of them and raid 5 the other 3?

Thanks for the help

Mike
