Depends on what access patterns you have; is it mostly dormant archiving;
or lots of access, concurrent, sequential ? How safe does the data need to
be; and against what (hardware failure, accidental rm -rf).

But check out the 3ware RAID card; I've had great luck with building NFS
servers with 8 or 16 disks as fairly dormant/archival style storage
depots.
