How much space does a mirror need?
Ideally, 4 disk 300 GB in a raid1+0 is on a decent network link is ideal. Otherwise 2x500gb's in raid1 work too.
So you need 1-2 TB.
ummm....not quite.
4 x 300GB in raid 1+0 = 600GB 2 x 500GB in raid 1 = 500GB
So, 500-600 GB.

vendors tend to quote the raw drive capacity as thats what costs money, not the usable space in a given raid configuration.
