SQL Server on RAID 5

Yahoo Archive
1
Hi there!

Learn from my mistake! Don't use RAID5.
I was using RAID5 with Progess when I found out, after the fact, that RAID5 was not the best thing for a database server. I was able to convert to a RAID10 with losing any data.
Check out the thread "[Vantage] Server requirements for V8" for my story.

Long story short, I notice a significant speed increase on the clients with regards to screen load times.

Thanks,
