The new server has 8 internal HD and 8 external HD. This server would act as a generic Sql instance for some of our 3rd party applications.
Infrastructure request
internal 1 raid10 (separate logical partition for OS)
external 1 raid 5
setup Logs & temp on the internal, data on the external
Other1
internal mirror (2 hd) & raid10 6 HD
external raid 10
setup Logs and temp on the internal, data on the external
Other2
internal 2 internal raid 10 (one OS & temp, other logs)
external raid 10
setup Logs and temp on the internal, data on the external
Ideas?
thanks
Daryl
EDIT
Informational:
Went with
2HD Mirrored OS
6HD Raid 10 Logs & tempdb
8HD Raid 10 Data

Just while you are on this.
Did you do your partition alignment on formatting the new drives?
If you didn't or don't know what I'm talking about checkout the Jimmy May Disk alignment.
In terms of your setup it's good.
Where does the backups go?
Cheers

Thanks for the heads up. However, disk Partition Alignment are automatic in Win Server 2008.
I actually had an infrastructure colleague who would not perform this alignment on my database servers back when.
thanks
