I am setting up Windows 2012R2 Server for use as a file server The drive space is setup as follows:
2 x 300GB RAID1 for the system..
5 X 600GB RAID5 for the data . Which gives me approximately 1. 9 TB of usable storage.
I have approximately 70 users that will store documents limited to 3GB per user.
The remaining space will be used for shared drives between departments.
Initially I was thinking of splitting the space into two partitions.
Partition 1 Personal Folders - 450 GB (3GB Disk Quota enabled per user)
Partition 2 Shared Folders - 1.5 TB
IS there a recommended way to Partition this space? Is there recommended limit for the size of portions. Would the above be optimal or should I look at creating smaller partitions?
Thanks,
