1) RAID1+0 to make one big volume 2) RAID1 for OS/apps/etc, RAID1 for database 3) RAID1 for OS+xlog, RAID1 for database 4) RAID1 for OS+popular tables, RAID1 for rest of database
Lots of good info, thanks for all the replies. It seems to me then, that the speed increase you'd get from raid0 is not worth the downtime risk, even when you have multiple servers. I'll start pricing things out and see what options we have.
Thanks again, Dennis
