Depends on what access patterns you have; is it mostly dormant archiving; or lots of access, concurrent, sequential ? How safe does the data need to be; and against what (hardware failure, accidental rm -rf). But check out the 3ware RAID card; I've had great luck with building NFS servers with 8 or 16 disks as fairly dormant/archival style storage depots.
