Use 4 2.0Gig IDE drives. Stripe them using the mdutils (or not does not seem to matter here)
For a filesystem we use ext2 here with a smaller blockspace (1K).

Note that we are continually swapping drives. No SCSI drive has survived more than 8 Months. We are now checking out how the
situation is with IDE drives for a newsserver spool.
