Relatively speaking, not expensive at all. You can get a Dell PowerVault loaded with SAS 320GB 15K at ridiculously low prices if you catch them around the end of a business quarter. They practically give stuff away to boost sales numbers for quarterly reports.

RAID 10 is very good, but does have the downside of requiring quite a few disks to achieve large amounts of storage.

Thats its only downside... but I love the performance and reliability. And with disks as cheap as they are today, using an Areca or 3ware card with 8 320GB drives is not all that expensive (well, not compared to 15K SCSI RAID)... LOTS of space, at least for my needs... :)
