Hi Matt,
Your %iowait seems high.
I had %iowait comparable to you with a single 200 Gigs 7200 RPM IDE drive.
Now we've upgraded this server: Opteron 2216 with 4 Gigs RAM, CentOS 64 v5.2) and an Adaptec 3405 plus 4 x 73 Gigs Seagate 15K RPM (RAID 10). No more %iowait! I benched it at about 140 MB/s and random r/w are very good on these drives.
We have 55 employees running Outlook connecting to Communicate with MAPI. The dataset is about 100 Gigs. Communigate use MBOX files for storage.
