Drive configurations

[chifu]

Has anyone experimented with different configurations of drives on a Citrix server to give maximum efficiency and stability?

If I brought a server with 4 drives what would be the best set up on loading the OS and applications. I am thinking of things like does one keep the OS on one drive,the applications on another and the swap files on a third. Is it better to RAID strip all the drive etc.

Thanks

I would configure a mirror set, and put the O/S onto one disk and apps on the other. I'd split the swap file over the two disks.

A stripe set is better for a file server, IMO.
