...ally, I''m requesting comments for the following configuration before I build it out. Basically, I have 4 servers. Two are PowerEdge 1750''s (4GB RAM each) with 3x36GB 15K U320 drives in RAID-5 in identical configurations and two are home-built ASUS RS120-E5/PA2''s with 2x500GB 7.2K SATA drives in RAID-1 with Intel Xeon X3220 Quad-Core CPU''s (8GB RAM each).
