Hello,

I am looking for some input on the following discussion:

Situation: Compaq Proliant 1500 server, Compaq Storage System, 6 harddisks
of 9 GB. Operating System Windows NT 4 Server - Systems Management Server
2 - SQL Server 7.

Purposed Configuration Solution 1:
2 disks in Raid-1 for the system partition
4 disk in Raid-5 for the SMS/SQL and data partition

Purposed Configuration Solution 2:
6 disks in Raid 5 as one logical disk.

I am looking for input on the advantages and disadvantegs of both purposed
solutions.

Please cc your reply to seek@xs4all.nl

Thank you for your trouble.
