Equalogic Optimal Configuration
Hello,
I'm planning to buy 2 Equalogics, one for my primary site and another one for a replication Site. I think that a 16 x 500 GB SAS configuration is enough for eMail, File and SQL Server. On my secondary site, I'm planning 16 x 500 GB SATA drives. Could you recommend me a RAID type for this architecture? What do you think about it? Please, any tips will be very welcome!
Thanks and best regards,
Cris

I believe RAID 50 is the default out of the box, which should give you good performance to space ratio. If you workloads demand higher performance you may consider using a different RAID configuration. Is the second site going to be a DR site for the primary?
