I'd use the 18g drives and configure a hardware raid5
array. Once formatted, create partitions and put the data
on D. Be sure to move the Exchange public, private stores
as well as log files to D. Use the 250 to backup the
system but get a tape drive too. SCSI is a better
performer than any ata drive.
If you haven't changed major hardware, activation is a
cakewalk.

Security, Permissions,
