We just moved one of our heavist databases 7 gig not great in size to a RAID 1 and the disk load still hits 100 during some heavy use.

Is this something to do with the disk itself not properly configured with spindles or luns ? Not up to date on this just take the Drives for SQL when assigned them.

Thanks

What do you mean by "disk load still hits 100"?

Disk time or queue length? Raid 1 doesn't mean better performance by default.

If the db is really heavily used, you should add more data files in it and put them on seperate disk arrays.
