Hey Guys,

I am designing my Exchange 2003 storage on a SAN storage solution. Now I
wanted to know if there are any recommendations in terms of which disks to
use SCSI or Fibre Channel to store my databases/logs?? or maybe a combination
of the two.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Hi there,

If I were you and have green-light to go with FC, I should always go for FC.
iSCSI is internet SCSI, still not as fast as FC.

Why should make it more complex, FC only or iSCSI it will make things simple
for your life

regards,
J.H

Combination of the two certainly isn't a good idea.
FC has more or less proven its performance advantage, though iSCSI with the
right network/storage design provides pretty decent performance as well and
in many cases at a lower cost.
