Looks like the price has gone up with the economy starting to recover.
I paid $68 per WD RE3 500GB drive on Amazon.com back in June.
I would still recommend going with 4 drives in RAID 10 over 2 in RAID

Seagate does make enterprise SATA drives.

What is the cheapest SATA hardware raid card I can get at newegg.com?
Seems like most turn out not to be true hardware raid that I have
found and will not run on CentOS 4.8 without a great deal of grief.

Given that you are just starting out,
go with SW raid10. When your usage grows,
plan to move to hardware raid or a hosted solution.

depends on the workload.
committed random writes are greatly accelerated by battery backed write
caches on real raid controllers.this greatly speeds up things like
transactional databases.

$699 is pretty steep, but RAID cards are not cheap.
They are worth it for performance though.
If you don't need absolute performance, software RAID will
work.

If you want performance stick with RAID 10. In general the more drives
(spindles) the faster the array. The Western Digital RE3 500 GB drives
are a good deal. You should be able to get 4 of those in the low
$200s. In RAID 10 this would give you better performance than 2 x 1TB
in RAID 1.

Are you going to to software RAID1 or hardware?
I find software RAID1 bogs down for intensive database
applications.
NOTE: Host based RAID is the same as software RAID.
You will need an actual external RAID card like one
from Areca.

Why don't you rent a VPS for the time being and rsync the file+data to
your MacPro, where you can use TimeMachine to create further backups?

Neil,
Can you explain how RAID 10 would work with 4 x 1tb drives?
Should I just get 2 x 2tb drives and mirror?
I probably dont need 4 x 1tb drives to start, maybe even 2 x 2tb. I
can't image this growing faster than I can get money to add more
equipment, move to Co-Lo, etc.
On Oct 29, 2009,
If you want speed, use RAID 10.
