our company is going to be transitioning from ex2000 to ex2007 next month. would anyone on the forum have any advice as to how to best to configure the hdds?

our current ex2000 configuration is a drive c: for the os, a drive e: for the exchgsvr files (also the installation drive for our anti-spam product) and then a drive n: for the mbx's and public folders. the drive n: config was red flagged by the best practices analyzer tool.

we're a simple exchange organization with a single server, one ad domain (currently 2K but being raised next week) and 114 mailboxes and some public folders that total, at present, 16GB of data.

i've been reading an mstechnet article on planning disk storage for ex2007 and have some gotten some idea as to how to proceed. have other of you gone with their recommendation of single disk for the database and another for the log files?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.
