Seems you should more than ample CPU.  How much RAM?

RAID 0 is a striped set, not mirrored.  Mirrored would be RAID 1.  Or did
you mean RAID 0+1?

Lots?  How many per day?  What size, roughly?

> Question - is it worth the money to get 15K drives over the 10K drives?

It depends on the above factors.  However, unless you are receiving a great
deal of incoming email and performing heavy logging, I doubt you will need
the extra performace of the 15k drives.

Cheers,
Dominic
