We are planning to add a NS700g NAS gateway to our CX700 and one DAE to migrate three old Netware servers (3000 user's home directories) to CIFS. The total data is near 1 TB.
I'm told the optimal Raid-5 is something like 4+1 and 9+1. Is it so bad to config 14+1? Or 13+1 and a spare? Will one DAE of 146GB 10k rpm drives perform well enough for this purpose in an MS Office and Exchange (overflow .pst files) environment?
