But I am yet to get a response. Hoping that I will have some luck here. If this is not the right list to ask, please redirect ** Hello all, We have a mail server that supports few hundred domains supporting few thousand pop accounts. What kind of RAID configuration suits a fairly busy mail server ? It is my understanding that RAID 5 is little bit slow for an 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.
