I am going to upgrade my Transaction Processing Server (still running Window 2000 Server OS). It has extensive Read/Write operations from time to time. R/W performance (especially the write) is my top priority while reliability is the second priority (as I will still carry out scheduled backup daily). I do not know which would be the best configuration :
Raid 10 using 4 SATA II 3.0Gb/sec HD (Intel Server board has onboard Raid 0, 1, 5, & 10) OR
a single 15K SAS HD
Please kindly give me some advise
Thanks a lot.
