Re: Exchange 5.5 limits

Not necessarily if the logs are on a separate drive. Of course, the server
will be inoperative until the drive is replaced and you've done a restore,
etc. I do think RAID-5 is vastly more appropriate for the store volume.

RAID 0 is huge issue - you loose everything if any drive fails. Other than
that no foreseeable problems. Just check event and backup logs every day.
P.S. What is the point in upgrading to E2K (as opposed to E2K3)?

Hi all - Currently running 5.5 sp4 on Win2K sp4.

I was hoping to upgrade to at least Exchange 2000 this year, but I don't
think it's in the cards. I was wondering if there is a point where 5.5
starts behaving flaky (db size, user count,..). My iron is pretty
heavy - a Dell PowerEdge with dual 2.GHz xeons - 3GB ram and the database
drive is raid 0 76GB.

Current stats are - single site, 35GB priv store - roughly 650 users.

I should add that it is rock solid currently (I know I just cursed
myself) - any foreseeable issues?

Many Thanks.

Pete
