Re: RAID 1 VS RAID 5 SBS 2003

BTW Leythos, wanted to comment on this. Yes, I see very little reason for
partitioning due to performance. If it's a single RAID set all you're really
doing is causing more head movement.

The partitioning is done to allow control. I want 'user' data away from the
OS partition, I don't want a fnigre porbelm accidently taking all space on
my OS partition. As may be inferred from my other comments I also want
control of the shadow copy service. The SC is controlled on a 'per
partition' basis.

I know all the reasons to not put it all on one partition, but, with so
many differences in how SBS is used, it's just simple and there is no
real performance difference under 25 users on Standard.
