Blackbaud Products

- API/VBA

Final Decision

Hmmm....no feedback. Doesn't look like FE gets nearly as much attention as RE, I might should have posted this question elsewhere.

For anyone else interested, below is what I considered to be the best RAID configuration for our server.

Using 2 - 73 GB disks
RAID1 - Mirror
Operating System and SQL Transaction Log

Using 4 - 73 GB disks
RAID10 - Striping with Mirror
FE Database

After reading several articles it seems RAID10 provides the best performance while still offering fault tolerance. The only think I was still unsure of was how many controllers I needed and the actually hardware setup, but I'm sure I can find some more info on that.
