Alright I got a few more questions. How exactly do backups work in SQL Server 2008. Whats the need to seperate them onto their own drives? Do SQL backups only run at a certain time of the day or do they actively run all the time? Reason I ask is that our Database for the most part isnt going to be that large and our database is really going to sit doing nothing after work hours. Since the database isn't that huge I can't image that it will take that long and therefore would run after work hours. Would that be an issue?

Sorry I am just dinking around with ideas on increasing drive speed and what not. It's so dang hard to get more stuff authorized and purchased for us IT folk. Just trying to work with drives we got and the whole more spindles in array equals greater performance. After reading grasshopper's seperate forum that he started . . . he stated that Logs are the only Sequential things and everything else is Random I/O's.

Thanks for bearing with me.
