I have two storage groups of roughly equal size with
future plans for a third group. I also have 6 x 146GB
drives for my new cluster. Is it a bad idea to use two of
the disks in a RAID 1 set for the quorum and transaction
logs (2 logical disks within the mirrored set) and use
the remaining disks for the storage groups and mailbox
stores? If that's no good, what's a better approach?
Thanks,
DK

I highly suggest Nicole's blog at

The correct answer is always, "It depends." She does a great job of
explaining disk sizing/performance.
