Raid configurations
- Thread starter cava83

no chance with £600.
you don't get any decent raid configurations unless you go for a proper RAID controller.
For £600 you are looking at SATA and RAID 1.
Optimum config for exchange would be a DL380 with a decent amount of ram (especially if its 2007) and then 2 drives mirrored for the OS, 2 drives mirrored for logs and then 4 drives in RAID 1+0 for the data, all SAS 15k.
No chance with £600 though i'm afraid, with that budget you are looking at one of the new DL160's or DL180's with a couple of SATA hdd's and no redundancy (i.e. power) or a DL140.

i'm confused then, what are you asking for, the best raid?
not sure where the £600 came into it.
what server is it, what raid controller and how many disks?
like i said above, the optimum config is separate os, logs and data.
raid5 isn't the best raid, it the cheapest which is why alot of people use it.
for performance lots of spindles in raid 1+0 and for resiliance raid 6 adg are the two main options.

at the end of the day it all depends what your after speed or reliability
5 is a good all-rounder for reliability
raid 6 even more resilient
raid 0 fast but a no no in servers
raid one fast and some resilience
nested raid can offer some great combinations of speed and reliability by combining the raid levels

raid 5 and 10 offer the same resiliance, although it could be argued that in some situations raid 10 is more resiliant as it can handle multiple drive failures as long as they are in the same mirror set.
As mentioned though it is the most expensive as more discs are needed.
RAID 6 gives the best resiliance although the speed can suffer.
Most of my customers are moving away from RAID 5 in favour of RAID 10.

Better than yours. C*nt.
Exchange recommendations are two array controllers, one running a mirror for the OS and a seperate RAID5 for the mailboxes.
However, with 30 mailboxes I'd say that as long as you had decent throughput you could have one big array and partition that...
HP EVA vRAID FTW...

LOL, EVA is a bit different!
it all depends on how many disk drives you have i guess as the more the better at the end of the day, but yes, i'll give you that eva for the win.
