500GB->1TB is probably way more then I need, but I won't complain.
I think 250GB should be good.
I have had good luck with LSI RAID cards (hardware reliability wise).
You may want to check the archives for fully supported, non-GIANT
locked cards. From a performance perspective I would invest in a card
with ample onboard ram 128megs or greater, and investigate getting a
BBU unit for the card as well.
