NIC teaming
Is it useful to configure NIC teaming on Dell R420 (running with 5 x 800GB 10000 RPM Hdd) ? Will 1Gpbs network or the internal RAID controller be a bottleneck in case both run as a maximum capacity ?

What type of RAID? RAID 10 will deliver the best output.

5 x 800GB 10000 RPM RAID5. What's the theoretical transfer rate ?

Assuming one HDD can read at 150MBps, then you should expect double from your RAID, i.e. 300 MBps.
Note that the speed will be much lower when doing random reads.

In case I monitor the current throughput of the network card (use window counter). If the actual usage is below 50%, can I say add NIC teaming doesn't improve anything ?
