Which Raid?

[sulmau]

Hi,

I'm running a machine in my company for e-mail ( mdaemon server ) & database ( Lotus Approach ) & need to know which raid level will be suiteable in the condition?

Can't use raid at hardware level so it means that can use raid using multiple hard disk drives & configure via OS.

Using win2000 server in this case.

If need any further info, then pls let me know.

Awaiting some good guideness / reply.

Regards / Sulman

Hope you have heavy cpu power - sw RAID5 is 'expensive' in terms of CPU overhead - you have to do a lot of extra math to read or write. This is meant to be a database server....make sure you do some performance/load benchmarking before throwing this into production.
