    Seeking opinions / satisfaction indicators... I'm looking at a new storage
    server to be part of a quasi SAN (some home grown bits and pieces will run
    on it)...

    The platform we are considering is the INTEL SE7501WV2 SCSI MOTHERBOARD with
    INTEL SRCU42L RAID CONTROLLER with Dual Xeon processors and a chunk of RAM
    of course ;-)

    One floating consideration is the hard drive configuration and the relative
    performance.

    I could go with 6 73GB 15000 RPM drives in two RAID 5 sets, or I could go
    with 6 146GB 10000RPM drives in RAID mirrors.

    The goal is to provide a NFS / SAMBA server for 4 - 20 application servers.

    Anyone have any value for dollar comments?

    Suggestions or stats on what will run better?

    MUCH appreciated.

    Mitch.
