I don't have the time to read all mails, I'm daily reading a lot of mails but not all of them. A few months ago nobody ask us anything about RAID 5, but since they had a diskcrash they want to install RAID5 and they have asked me to do that. Do you still have these interesting mails ?

It's all 1 disk. Well, with NT, you just make your dbspaces as OS files, so it doesn't really change anything, does it? >Does anyone have any experience with these things.

Just search the IIUG Archive of this list/newsgroup for the keyword RAID5 you will get tons (or tonnes if you prefer) of references. Read most of those with my name or Obnoxio's handle on them. Especially look at postings in early March this year and last summer. I usually get fed up in June or July and post a full blooded rant. Art S.
