Any mid-range array with SATA disks configured as RAID6 (150-200MB/sec) should be enough as regardless of where the deduplication is done (client or media server), deduped data is sent/written to the disk array. Be aware that connection between disk array and media server has to be FC based. iSCSI is currently not supported for dedupe disk.
There is no way to directly convert the traditional disk based STU to deduped one. You need to first create a dedupe pool then you'll be able to have a separate STU for deduplication.
