If data integrity and uptime is very high on your priority list, go with
6. If random IO performance is king, go with 10. If you need 3TB of
space, go with 5. Whatever you do, buy server grade 24/7 rated drives
and do regular backups.

IO matters,<BR>
most of the writes will be against a DB,<BR>
and probably 1 out of 100 of the writes will be small files (as in 500 KB),<BR>
<BR>
but uptime and integrity are higher in the priority,<BR>
so probably 6 it is,<BR>
<BR>
awesome answers from all,<BR>
thanks a lot,<BR>
