server setup, one raid1 pair or OS + data raid

[tart666]

I am setting up my first win2k3 server, debating between putting both OS and data on same raid1 array, or os on own drive, and data only on raid1.

the hardware is dell 420sc 2.8, the load is pretty minimal with some file sharing, CVS (VS.NET + autocad), printer sharing, small office for ~5 users.

I'd put the whole thing on the mirror array.

looks like that's what i am gonna do, just partion the raid1 array into two. thx for the input.
