RAID5+1 spare. 6x250GB HDD (or maybe 300GB HDD). Call Sight & Sound (or any HP vendor) for quotes on the HDD. Sight & Sound is 374 6078 / 375 1308 (off the top of my head). The others you can dig from Yellow Pages. What happened to @Alvin Jason Ochieng?? Did he join elective politics? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. Please consider the environment before printing this email.
Thank you Odhiambo. On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 12:23 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

Thanks, Dennis. I just did a quick mental calc....He needed (at least 1TB == about 1024GB) hence my suggestion, after seeing the server has 6 drive bays. RAID 5 gives the best redundancy (though isn't the best performance-wise) but performance was beyond the scope of the requirement of the OP at the moment:-) He can G-Panga with the actual figures, not the mental ones.
