Speed of the rebuild is important in time critical applications. Rebuilding a RAID 5 1TB can take over 60 hours and significant performance degradation will be experienced during this time. RAID 10 offers excellent redundancy and performance. I'm going stick with my suggestion of a separate RAID card with a BBU vs the Perc integrated controller on the motherboard. 4 Separate servers might not economically feasible. I can understand the necessity in a larger practice. SBS was designed to handle these roles, Sharepoint, exchange, RWW, simultaneously. For most, their server is all-in-one solution, a fax server, file, active directory, etc. We have 10 workstations and 2 laptops.
