Actually, I wasn't able to read the specs of that server. I just searched for the basic specs I need and it was one of the results I got. Well, that box was good enough but I'm not sure about the price.

Yeah, you're right. Having at least 8 units of SATA with identical 200GB will already gave me of around 1.4TB of usable disk storage running RAID 5. Thanks for the tip. --- MARVIN T.
