asked on
Dell R510 for Exchange 2010?
Hey guys,
Considering getting Dell R510 server with 12 bays
2 x 146GB RAID1 for OS/Exchange
5 x 600GB for Mailboxes and Logs. Only 30 users and do not expect too much growth. Would it be okay. I remember the best practice to have logs on the different RAID separately.
Please advice.
Thanks!!

That link is for Active Directory and nothing to do with Exchange, perhaps you should check the contents of links before you post them!

AhmedHERMI, that link is only available if you actually sign up to the site unless you do. There are a number of other tools that can be used for size analysis of an exchange server but none of them are particularly effective.
I also recommend the SBS 2011, and besides that you can cut costs even more by going with only 16GB ram.
