Moving the transaction logs

Hello,
I have a new raid 5 array, that I would like to move the
transaction logs to. Currently the databases and logs
are on the same drive array. Can anyone point me in the
direction of some documentation for this.
ThanksYour best, fastest bet is using the sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db
procedures. The KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;224071
provides a great description of the process.

See this KB article:
INF: Moving SQL Server Databases to a New Location with Detach/Attach
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;224071
See also some additional info in the experts-exchange:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Microsoft_SQL_Server/Q_20823435.html
BTW, isn't RAID-5 too blown up for transaction log? Transaction log writes
are synchronous and sequential, idelly suited for a much less expensive
RAID-1.
