Now we were talking about what to do with those 8 drives and you said . . .2 drives in RAID1 for backups
2 drives in RAID1 for logs
4 drives in RAID10 for data
You could also do this
2 drives in RAID1 for backups
2 drives in RAID1 for logs
3 drives in RAID5 for data
1 drive as spare

Just curious . . . but we have 6 bays left. If I were able to get authorization to order 2 more drives, where do you think they would be more beneficial??
Split out the Tempdb if you get 2 further drives

Would it make sense to add onto the Database RAID10 and make it 6 drives? . . . orMake the logs a 4 drive RAID10 instead?
Or what?
I guess what would be the best benefit??
If you have budget to get 6 i would get 6 larger 300gb drives and change the config above even further
