Raid Containers
I am installing a Poweredge 2400 server with PERC2si Raid. I will have a five 18Gb disk RAID 5 array. Normally I would have an 8Gb system partition for my Windows 2003 install. Here is the question, should I have one RAID 5 container for the entire space and then partiion it for system and data, or setup an 8Gb RAID container for the system, and second RAID container for the data. What is the difference in having separate containers or one container with separate partitions?

You will have better speed with a 2+3 split. This means 2 drives setup as a R1 and 3 drives as R5.
Hope this helps
