I just assumed your question was for mysql data only.. If you want total I use:
OS - raid 1 (2 X 18.2gb - 10kRPM) DATA - raid 0+1 (# X 18.2gb - 15kRPM) usually a dataset is comprised of 6-10 disks.. you could go larger with the drive size.. but more spindles = more thruput Swap isn't much of an issue as memory is very inexpensive.. 2-4GB of ram in a machine configured correctly with mysql shouldn't use swap much..
