RAID type suggestion

[Vincent Fox]

Suggestions:

1) More spindles is best, so more small disks is better than fewer large
ones
2) RAID-10 is best performance
3) Run bonnie++ on your proposed setups and benchmark performance
using filesize typical for a mail message (16K typical)
4) Read this website before trusting user data to RAID 5:

I have been very pleased with ZFS and would not choose
any other filesystem after having worked with it for 3 months.
