Re: Simple mirroring question

Hi Jim, too broad a question

Depends on processor type / speed
Ram
FSB
HDD speed
Types of HDD
Cache in HDD

Even with those answers depends on file sizes, defragmentation... What partitions are there ?

Its got to be done out of hours, start it order pizza and have a tv available.... ;-)

If I assume right, break mirror, put in one 250gb mirror to this, swop hdd and then install other 250 hdd and mirror again... Im assuming these are same type HDD i.e SCSI / IDE / SATA and not swopping types ?

I think a ghost scenario would be better.

I just was wondering if anyone has an estimated timframe on how long it could
take to replace 2 80GB mirrored drives with 250GB drives. Just the mirror
rebuild time. W2003 SBS server. System and Data partitions about 80% full.

Thanks
