:
In the ideal scenario, there are separate RAID arrays for the boot volume, video application volume and the SQL storage volume. Again, only enterprise class HDD's should be considered. This scenario presumes that the database will be stored locally instead of a dedicated Database Server. If you are using an external Database Server, you can disregard the Database Volume row.
