Hello,
I would like request to set the new db server with raid10. According to :
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/fixing_bottlenecks.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/optimsql/od... http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid5_gci903958,... http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/bangbuck/bangbuck.php http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/power/en/ps3q99_raid?c=us...
And LiveJournal seem to use raid 10 too.
When Geoffrin was working, with the raid10. It was very fast. And with search enabled !
I really think raid10 would be the best configuration to use. As there is 6 x 73 GB drive, we could have have ~ 220GB of space. Which would let us quiet for some time.
