SQL SERVER 2016 AND RAID 5
Hello, Can we implement RAID 5 architecture on a machine running Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016 Standard edition with 1TB each, 3 SATA SSD's. Everyday, around 350 Mb of data is pushed i...
SQL Server uses the logical drives Windows presents to the application. You can talk to your hardware vendor.
Robin Shanab thanks for writing. Actually I have a business application that demands a DELL SERVER (not yet decided) and SQL SERVER 2016 Standard edition.
The existing machine (already supplied in April 2021) with s/w RAID 1 (2 HDD's 1 TB each) and SQL SERVER 2014 EXPRESS takes a lot of time to read data from the databases.
Hence I am looking into upgrading/tuning the upcoming machines in the areas of data structuring and database administration.
Can you advice on how to design the system consuming ~350 Mb of data per day in the databases.
