We've finally got all the hardware ready and setup for the new server:
So yeah. Our new file/mail/sharepoint server!
SharePoint eh... a Windows server?
Kitten, with three disks in a RAID 5 you lose one third of the total storage space across all three drives to parity data leaving you with 160 GB in this case. Still a bit for a boot drive.
Is 240gb really needed
It is really 160gb, as it is raid 5. The mail will be stored on this drive too.
SharePoint eh... a Windows server?
Of course. The current server is a Windows box too.
Sounds kinda nice Dale. Can't wait to see it.
Yeah well, one of the new 80GB drives just dropped out of the array....thank god for RAID5 :(
The beeping from the raid card can be heard throughout the house.
Got hotswap :p
Looks like it is all working now. We replaced the PSU with something that could cope ;)
The data raid doubled in speed too. Coolies.

Just out of interest...
Is 240gb really needed just for booting (which I am assuming just means Server OS install and not much else)? Or will it also do other things like hold the mail database?
