Easy question, I hope We are setting up an active active sql cluster. The management have done everything the wrong way around and purchased the hardware already.

We are planning on having 2 databases 1 in each instance. We will place the transaction log files for each database on their own cluster "physical disk" resource. We only have 4 disks availalbe for the transaction log files. To make things a little more complicated I have been given no information on the expected transaction use other than they should be no larger than 50GB

Here are my options

1. 2 Mirrored raid arrays one for each sql instance
2. 1 Raid 10 array with 2 logical drives (so the transaction logs are sharing the same disk spindles)

What would you do? seperate the disk spindles or share them and go for fast disk performace.

Thanks in advanced
