> How many users and if its going to a few build your own..

60-70 desktops and a couple servers will mount drives of this file server.
It will store all valuable data, including programmer home directories,
for a software development firm.  It's not exactly a 24x7 database access,
but it will get moderate access all day long.

The old server it's replacing doesn't have iostat or any other decent
disk I/O monitoring capability (I'm still working on getting root
access on it), so I can't say with certainty just how hard it's getting
hit right now.
