Subject: Re: Hard drive
Tori,
You might want to consider a RAID 5 configuration (allowing you to back up
data) with three 9 GB hard drives for your server (you can always add two 9
GB hard drives later on). In a RAID configuration, about a third of each
hard drive is dedicated for back-up. Note that the Dell PowerEdge 2300 now
sells in RAID 5 configuration with 9, 18, or 36 (!) GB hard drives. So
potentially, you can have 180 GB of space in a RAID 5 configuration... if
you have $6,000.
