If you take into account performance, maintenance and having disk not failing into 3 months the price is not just 2x60 €. A professional sata disk is more around 100€. Saying that, the global size Mageia will need is more around 2 or 3 Tera if you add BS, SVN, Mirrors, users home, etc... Obiouvsly, managing such size is a bit more complex: you'll need RAID5 or RAID6, 4 to 6 disks and a computer with enough disk slot. We cannot manage our server like a desktop if we do not want to be face to problem later ! On mirror size the problem is bigger, you have to permanently check you have enough disk space and adding 1TB to the current system is not just adding a 60€ disk. You can have a look to the picture at bottom of the distrib-coffee web page to understand what I mean: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ Each array cost around 1500€, but none of them have lost data yet since it get installed (5 years ago).
