Hello all,

 We have a mail server that supports few hundred domains supporting few
thousand pop accounts. . What kind of RAID configuration suit a fairly busy
mail server ? 

It is my understanding that RAID 5 is little bit slow for active server. What
are the performance issues that needs to be thought of when selecting a RAID
configuration ? 

Thanks in advance for any useful input. 

Tad.
