Thanks to you all for the responses. I've also added a second drive array to this server and after configuring it as RAID 5 I have about 70 gigs for the data files. Is there any reason to create separate partitions on this array or should I just create one large one? The only reason I can see for having separate partitions is if I wanted to keep my test and production data files on separate partitions. Thanks again - It's great to have these forums as a resource.
