Re: moving Exchange DB to Raid 5

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've been running my Exchange data on a Raid 5 partition since the release

would invite data corruption any more than Raid 1, and I'd guess that the
majority of SBS'ers in the newsgroups are using Raid 5.
