RE: Storage group Hard drive info |

Chris,
Uptill now I don't have any issues with ATA drives and Exchange 2003, it all
depends on the configuration you are using. Raid configurations, mailbox
store sizes, usage of the system, hardware specs all paly part in the
performance. By creating a seperate storage group you will gain performance
because it uses its own log files which you can move to ATA drives. I think
its worth to try and monitor the performance of the mailboxes on the ATA
drives.

drives and creating a new storage group. I thought I could then move some of
my less intensive users from the FC drives to the ATA storage group. I have
always been told that exchange runs terribly on ATA drives but have never
done it myself. What do you all think, is it worth a try or has it been done
before and does not work at all?
Thanks all,
Chris |
