Robert,
You have many great option once you get to the number of physical drives you
now have.
With six drives I would consider the following configuration. My
configuration with you hardware would look like this:
1) Use the Highpoint onboard raid for a mirrored OS set.
2) Use the Promise Card with three drives in raid five for Exchange and SQL
data plus other data storage.
3) Use one drive for Log files for DBs.
Hope this Helps,
Cheers,
Jeff Loucks
