sql server dts: Hi,

I want to have your feedback on how to configure my drives to insure a good
performance during loading process & transformation against a staging
database.

Image you have 4 drives available for the staging database & tempdb
database...
loosing these disk is not important, so no redundancy required.
I read from an external database into the staging, I do some updates and
copy into the staging himself, and finally I read the staging to load the
datawarehouse.
I execute more then 70 DTS packages, the sequence of these packages is
optimized. So I could write a fact table in the staging while I read another
to fill the datawarehouse at the same time.
I have 4 "big" fact tables (from 1 millions of rows to 20 millions)
There is "only" 4Gb to 5Gb used by the staging database during the loading
process.

how to configure these disks?
Does it better to setup all disks in raid 0? (the system do everything)
Does it better to keep the 4 disks separatly, and create multiple files &
file groups and dedicating 1 disk by fact table?
Creating 1 filegroup and 4 files in this file group (1 on each disk)? (SQL
Server manage the sharing usage of the disks)
Where to put log files?

thanks for your feedback.

Jerome.
