exch 2010 database size management

In Exchange 2003, I would create multiple  databases and set policy limits to keep those databases to a reasonable size for restore purposes. This resulted in having quite a few data stores.

Is the same logic  true for Exch 2010? Having many database sized to achieve a recovery time objective? Im currently running DAG too. Any database size best practice advice is welcome.

Guys Typo error posting again

I agree with MegaNuk3. Secondly, bigger db's - corruption risks are more, as MS still unable to do any changes at db level. Still Jet db version.

Small db's will give better performance and less time for restore.

I've heard that unlike Exch 2k3, you can keep Tlogs on the same Raid5 partition as the database.  True?
RAID1/10 is better for logs. Check more from below link
