If you still have the budget, I would suggest considering either what
Ron suggested or possibly using a 4 drive RAID 10 instead.
IME, with only 4 HDs, it's usually better to split them them into two
RAID 1's (one for the db, one for everything else including the logs)
than it is to put everything on one RAID 10. YMMV.
Really? That's interesting. My experience is different, I assume SCSI?
Software/Hardware Raid?
