	Make sure that you have plenty of RAM.  I have a SCSI-based, four
18GB drives vinum array on a FreeBSD 4.1-Stable system at work.  It works
really well.  I have a P-III 500 (or was it a 600?) and 256MB of RAM.  
Its mostly used for web based applications such as TWIG
(http://twig.screwdriver.net), email (qmail and uw-imap), and file sharing
(netatalk-asun and, soon, samba).  No complaints so far and there are
about 100-200 people using it daily.
