Well, i'd just keep na eye on transfer speeds... If the server is as old as walking forward, I'd put an USB 2.0 controller on it and get an USB drive IF you're using Windows 2000 or 2003. In the case of NT4, I'd just get an SCSI controller and an External drive.

From what I remember you don't have to dismount anything in 2000 and 2003, just right click on the mailbox store in ESM and browse to the new location. ...Spence -----Original Message----- From: Tim Sutton [mailto:T.Sutton@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 31 March 2005 13:59 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Edbs on external hdd http://www.MSExchange.org/ So, here's the situation: we're using a server that's so old I think my grandma could have had a hand in building it and my pda has more storage space... But I digress. Anyway, it's tiny and old and slow and there's no chance of getting it replaced any time soon. In fact it's going to be swapped for a "bigger one" from one of the London offices, but again I'm getting side tracked with office politics! As a stop gap we've decided that we're going to have to chuck an external hdd on it and move the edbs over to that. My questions run something like this: 1) what issues should I be keeping my eyes open for when using this USB hdd? 2) how tricky is it moving the edbs? I'm guessing it's just a case of dismounting the edbs and telling exchange to move the to the "new" drive. I'm worried I'm missing something here, so please feel free to comment. :D Cheers, all.
