What are you looking for? Redundancy, speed, pure capacity?
If you are just looking for a place to stick all of these
images and you want fast access to them and redundancy isn't important (i.e.
your daily backups are good enough) you could go with a stripe set. If you need
the redundancy then I would probably be looking at RAID-5 as well, unless as the
others mentioned you need really good write capability. Anything besides those
two will drammatically hit your capacity.

Hi,
I have a Compaq ML370 Proliant Tower Server, our lab department are
creating digital images that are 30mb per pic so I need lots of storage
space.
I am thinking of putting in 4x300gb Ulta320 SCSI drives in a RAID5 set,
does anyone see any performance problems with this?
Does anyone have any experience if I need to upgrade any
firmware?
thanks
