It will be for 2 VMs - First is Hosting on Debian 300mailboxes and 100websites and Second again on Debian for 10 mailboxes and 1 e-shop.

I want to go for RAID5 array. 3 + 1 or 2 + 1 and 1 spare....

Its good system for Vmware ESXi? I have another offer from IBM and HP those are more expensive and have a less performace. So Can I go for it?

Thanks for advice and experiences!
