The option I have chosen is the Program will install on a RAID 1 OS partition, the information stores and Logs will go on a rather large RAID5 (15 users, 2.7tb RAID5). &nbsp;We will be using Backup Exec as our BU solution and run daily brick level backups

I'm prepping a system and am interested in the Spindle requirements for SBS2011. &nbsp;I remember back when Exchange 2007 came out, they wanted 3 spindles (data, logs, transactions (I think)). &nbsp;Is that requirement still there? &nbsp;Or does Microsoft just want an OS partition and all the other stuff on one data partition?<br />
<br />
I have the capabilities for 3 spindles (RAID1 OS, RAID 5 Data, and RAID 5 data). &nbsp;Or to combine the two DATA for one large RAID 5?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
