IIS Server
Posted by Diane Walker on April 3rd, 2008


We have a server with 5 (72GB) hard drives. We want to install IIS on
Windows 2003, R2 server. Would you recommend that we setup RAID 5 for
performance? Thank you.

If you have the drives to spare, and if you need the fault tolerance, and if
the IIS is "write mostly" (as most are) then you might benefit from this
improvement in (mostly) READ speed.

If you have good backups (staged sites etc) then you might consider simple
RAID 0/Stripe set if you don't need the fault tolerance.
