Thanks to everyone who has responded to my post.  I like the RAID 1+0 idea. 

I was originally planning on running the OS, and database separate from each 
other.  How should I proceed with the install. 

Would it be best to run the OS as RAID 1 (2 disks) as originally planned, 
and run the database on RAID 1+0 (4 disks)? 

Or, should I run the whole thing (OS & Database) on one huge RAID 1+0? 

Thanks,
