EMC Clariion CX600 (SAN) as a file server

Keeping Performance and Redundancy in mind, what's the best way to configure fifteen 73 Gig drives in a CX600?

Depends on what is going to stored on the CX600. For fast read/writes I recommend using RAID 10.

They are going to be used for small files for a file server.

Raid 5 should be suffice.

Why don't you think on NS600? I mean use a NAS instead a DAS/SAN with some server. NAS is the best choice for File Server.

Cheers.

Yeah i agree with chaclinc, you could have used the savings to give yourself a raise. At least hook up Exchange to it.
