We've been looking and apparently the RocketRAID 1640 is a 4 channel serial ATA
that supports RAID 5... of course we're going to keep searching...
We haven't identified a dollar minimum.... we just want to remain concious of
the cost.
We are a small shop and only support 20 - 30 email users, but would like to
build to be able to support up to 50....

I dont think there are any serial ata raid 5-10 controllers out yet are
there. adaptec has one coming out soon, but its not out yet. all they have
is raid 0 and 1.
how low are you trying to keep costs? $3000, $5000, $8000

I am in the process of identifying requirements for a new
Exchange 2000 box and would like some clarification....
In an effort to keep costs manageable we were considering
serial ATA drives in some sort of RAID configuration.
If we have a separate drive for the OS should it also be a
serial ATA drive or can it be a standard IDE drive on one of the motherboard
controllers? If not recommended, I guess it should also be a serial ATA drive
on its own controller?
We were thinking of a RAID 5 configuration for the storing of
the Exchange database and logs. This would be a separate serial ATA
controller....
Not being a hardware techie... I'm not sure if I'm on the right
path regarding the hardware configuration....
Any advice from those who are?
Thanks

If money is a concern, here is my .02:
All drives Dynamic (unless mirroring the SCSI via
hardware raid) and all NTFS.
2 EIDE HD.
Partition 1 Partition 2
Partition 3
Boot and OS (Mirrored) Page File (One on each
drive) Exchange Tran log (Mirrored)
2 SCSI
One partition. Mirrored. Exchange DB.
The reason for have 2 page files, each on a separate
partition on separate drives, is it is not recommended to mirror the page file,
and having 2 will keep you from having a blue screen in the event of a drive
failure.
