With the SQL and Oracle, were the database and logs, configured to be on separate physical spindals (two RAID set) or were they on the same physical spindals (One RAID set)? -----Original Message----- From: Jack Spradling [mailto:jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 4:40 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Windows 2003 http://www.ISAserver.org I am running a Promise UltraTrak SX8000 with 8 80 gig drives, it has been in service for just over a year. I LOVE it and will purchase more RAID space that utilizes IDE drives. I will say that test we did early on show that SQL and Oracle do not bode as well on IDE drives, the SCSI system are hands down faster. In side by side in most other operations the IDE and SCSI are about the same.

And the cost for 2TB was well under 10K (USD), so had to defend SCSI cost. waiting for the full release of serial ATA for increase in transfer speed. there is one caveat though, my data on the RAID is static. once copied to the RAID it willnever be changed, just read only access. that may make some difference. later, Richard Bell MIS Director Microfilm Services, Inc. www.msifla.net rbell@xxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: David V.
