I get your point about CACHE, but this Dell PowerEdge T630 is just a FRONT-END fileserver, the backend is a Dell EqualLogic SAN. I assume if I have CACHE on the SAN I do NOT need to worry about having CACHE on the FRONT-END fileserver which is basically just a "pass-through" ?
If it's just a NAS head why do you want to use RAID 5? You only need the OS on it so a couple of disks in RAID 1 will do.
