Hi,

I am getting a new server.  I read that it is a good idea to match the
stripe size of your RAID volume to the block size of the application.  What
is the data block size of the EDB and transaction logs in Exch 2007?  Is
this a stupid question.  Will Exch 2007 look at the hardware it is on and
configure itself accordingly, which would make the most sense?

TIA,

Jarryd

For Exchange just use the default.

Which is 64K per stripe, so far as I know it.  Correct?

TIA,

Jarryd
