@ OP: Do the RAID setup O+1 if you can. Do note that 0+1 and 1+0 are different RAID styles. Most boards are 0+1.
@ Computear: You could easily pick up 3 500Gb drives in RAID for the same cost as 1 15k and they are less likely to fail. SAS drives are really fast and can be quite unstable. I advise against SSD's as their read speed is incredible, their write speed is not. And because of that, even 2 7200
s in RAID 0 can outperform a single SSD. But if you do choose SSD, the smaller it is, the fast, assuming it's MLC.
