Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 4.0 & 4.5 / August 2004RAID 5 or RAID 10?
30 Clients, SBS 2003 premium. Numerous additional servers for file serving, accounting, intranet (runs SQL), TS. SBS basically needs to do its domain/active server thing, email, OWA, print serving, ISA. It will be new so recommendations on RAID level 5 or 10.. we have 4 U320 36 Gigabyte drives available and DO understand the capacity loss of RAID 10. What's the groups thoughts Dirk-Thomas Well RAID 10 will be faster if you can live with the capacity cost. On the other hand, are these the only drives in the server? If so, then you are not going to be getting huge performance gains as your page file, exchange databases, active directory database, exchange logs and AD logs are all going to reside on the same set of spindles. So the next issue then becomes speed of recovery. RAID 5 will take longer to recover if you have a drive failure, but you could allocate the fourth drive as a hotspare and it will recover automatically if you have an issue.
