To be more specific the system will be on RAID1 (say around 40GB), and
the data disk will be non-RAID (300GB).

We can put the 300GB on RAID after we get a new server to our colo, but
that will be like 2-3 weeks (colleague still doing some coreboot and Xen
related hacking on it), whereas I can get the 40+300 up probably late
next week (the day after whenever the external esata enclosure arrives
in the mail)
