I don't do any server w/out raid-1 (at least) any more. The HDD is the
component most likely to fail, and software raid-1 is affordable
continuity insurance (imo).

todate i never had to used noatime and nodiratime and dir_index. Are there
any negatives of using this. i using this server only for qmailtoaster ?
I don't know of any negatives of specifying noatime and nodiratime. It
only means that the access times on files and directories won't be
updated. I don't know of anything this affects, and it does improve HDD
performance slightly.
dir_index on the other hand does have a potential negative. It requires
a little overhead on writes and deletes, but reads are faster. I think
the overhead's negligible. This is mostly to improve imap, and I can see
where having this setting with a lot of pop3 accounts might be slightly
detrimental.
the client transmits around 30 gb data per day - 60000 emails per day in
between there employees and also with external entities
That's a ton all right.
