On my NT Quad Development box I have 9x2 Raid 1 for OS/Oracle Files. Then Raid 0+1 for the 6 drives for data. It isn't perfect, but works good. If you do raid 0 with 6 drives, make sure you look into a good stripe size so you actually use the girth. Otherwise 0+1,1+0 may be a better option.

We won't need any backup, since we can easily re-create the databases from testing instances. I'm planning on implementing the disk storage as RAID0 - a single logical volume stripped across all the drives (6), with the stripe size set to the OS (Win2K) block size. We will only have 4 or 5 developers on the box at any one time and I want to maximize IO utilization.
