So in summary:
50GB total store.
3,500 emails per day.
You should be able to get away with:
Dual P4 2.8 single core
2GB RAM
Mirrored OS/Apps
Mirrored pair for TLs
7 spindles for the store.
In fact that should be overkill. If you partition the AX100 you can do TLs
and Store on the same box (not horrendously sensible but hey).
SATA is thoroughly ok. Buy Exchange 2003 with maintenance and you'll get the
next version too which will work even nicer.
Oh and split the company into 2 logical groups and put them in a storage
group each. 25GB per store will be ideal. 50GB is starting to get a bit
much.

Hello,
I am planning an Exchange 2003 deployment that will support 50 users. We
are "medium users"; 50 incoming emails and 20 outgoing per user. Each
user
will probably have about 1GB mailbox.
Because of our existing infastructure the most appealing option involves
iSCSI SAN. Particuarlly, I was interested the DELL/EMC AX100. But this
enclosure uses SATA II drives (7200 RPM).
Is it a big no-no to deploy Exchange on SATA? With our number of users
are
we going to pay a big performance price? Has anyone done this before?
Thanks for your time.
