[TriLUG] Large fast hard disks

[Jon Carnes]

Any of the current SCSI disk subsystems should be able to handle that
load with no problems.

To make it faster and larger I recommend running the disks in a Raid 5
configuration (with a hot swap spare).  My personal favorite is to use
an old Mylex hardware RAID card.
