Thinking about adding a Raid

I have a home ESX server that i use for various things, but i was thinking about making a fileserver out of it too.. in the tune of win2k3 server

i have a raid card an areca 1220 and i found that there are drivers(albiet beta) for esx 3.5 for it. i was thinking of getting about 5 1.5TB hard drives for it and making a raid 5.

i was thinking of formatting it with vmfs and putting a large 5TB virtual disk on it and assigning that to the guest OS.

whats things should i consider when doing this in esx?
