Hi Neil, That clears my concern of the redundancy for your configuration. Well, there's isnt a Dell test done so far with your configuration, 9 Logical Drives, includes 8 x RAID0 arrays. Although the specification stated it can support up to 16 Logical Drive per Disk Group, i believe it can support, but in terms of performance, I have to say it is going for a ride. Perhaps if you do find a performance issue, you can always add on another H710p.
Hi, Been doing this configuration for my last several servers but Im not sure if Im doing it the best way for performance. I have PE R720xd, PERC H710p, 2 x 600Gb 10K 2.5" SAS, 24 x 1Tb 7.2K 2.5" SATA. I would normally do this Raid configuration as: OS disk : RAID-1 for 2 x 600Gb Storage Disk : RAID-0 x 3 1Tb, Total of 6 logical drives Is this the best configuration in terms of performance? I am using this server in an Exchange 2010 DAG environment. Is ther a better way? I was thinking to use 2 x PERC H710p so as not to put too much load on the raid controller.   Neil
