Hi!

I would like to craete a new database that is going to be about 60 gb. I would like to structure it in filegroups. My question is if I have only 2 drives one of which holds the log file and the other one is a raid 5 does separating data files into file groups help at all if all the files are on the same drive ? Most of the articles I have been reading say that the files need to be placed on different drives for parallel IO...Please advise if I need another raid 5 so that I have 2 drives to store the data files and 1 mirrored for the tran log.


Thanks
