These are *insane* specs. I back up ~400GB of data on 6 different servers, with a *single* 750GB *PATA* IDE drive and *512MB* RAM (and a *VIA* 1.5GHz CPU! and 100Mbit!). It works *flawlessly*. This server is *so* overkill it's not even funny. And a heck of a box: we're migrating much of our infrastructure to a pair of x3500's running VMware... So if you've got the budget, you'll be *very* happy... Using 15K RPM SAS drives for *backup* floors me. I *never* build a file server (or similar) *without* SAS drives, but for backup? Here you want bulk and reliability: and that means PATA/SATA...
