You definitely want something Opteron based for this kind of data
volume. And I'd go with LSI Megaraid 4 channel SCSI RAID controller
for your data connected to some Ultra 320 SCSI disks on multiple
channels of the RAID card.
As for vendors, I've yet to find a stable vendor. I have been
working with one vendor trying to get a stable opteron system with 100
+ GB RAID and so far have 1 out of 4 systems built for me be reliable
and stable (and there were at least 3 motherboard and RAM swapouts on
the failing systems too). These were Tyan K8SR (s2881) motherboards,
and one was S2882 motherboard.
Right now I'm evaluating Sun's opteron offerings for my future needs.
