[THIN] RAID 1
We are using HP Blades with RIAD 1 for our Citrix Servers on Windows Server 2003 SP1. My question is would we get better disk i/o performance if we partioned the RAID 1 into two partitions and stuck the page file, temp directories and programs on the second partition? If not has any one used a RAMDISK for this? Or is their an argument for eliminating RAID 1 altogether and just put the page file, temp directories on the second hard drive (better performance and more disk space). Since I have a boat load of blades where is the risk? So I lose one or two drives a year on my servers and each time 50 - 60 users get kicked off. heck! I do that accidently at least once a year!? Managment might not buy that argument but If the performance gain is significant then it's worth it. Your thoughts? 

Thanks,

Greg
