Personally, I would go with five 1TB drives with a RAID 5. You will have 4TBs. The other way on 2TBs. Then a hot spare. Or 2 X 2 TB in a mirror for 2TBs total with a hot spare. Sandeep will disagree on the first
5 minus 1 = 4

If you have a server ALWAYS use DHCP with it. NEVER use DHCP from the router and NEVER, EVER have them both on. I am very sure it was your firewall.

Tom, I hope you understand that RAID efficiency and how good it is has nothing to do with the number. 100 people will give you 100 different RAID setups, but RAID5 will not get you closer to a program trading shop.
