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..
