Hi,
we're upgrading to a new ML350 Porliant server--win2003 and will have about 30-40 clients hooked up to it.
We only run one small app from the server and everything else is basically file/print.
We don't place a huge load on it(ie read/write) so I was thinking that having RAID 5 setup might be overkill. What I was wondering was whether it would be best to have two drives mirrored for the OS (ie 2x36 G HDD's) and two for data/apps ie(2x72Gb) does that look feasible? Our current server has two 36 Gb drives mirrored but each is partitioned to have OS on one partition and then Data on two other partitions. This has worked perfectly well so far.
Thanks for any advice angles etc...
