We're considering a 1TB 4200, 4x250GB. What capacity will we get in RAID5?

Anyone have any good/bad experience with these? How's GuardianOS compared with SnapOS -are NFS, permissions, etc. as easy to setup?

Is there a better option for < 3k delivered? This is for an office environment with OS X, Win32, and UNIX clients.

How does failure work in the 4200, are drives hot swappable? Can I just put a new drive in? Is there one drive that if failed, I'd be SOL; or can any or several fail? What are the recovery scenarios?

How does RAM affect performance of these? It comes w/ 256MB and apparently maxes at 3GB.

Would buying this new allow me to download software from Adaptec?
Something I've not been able to do ($%^*^ -that's me swearing) with my two 2+ y/o 2200s.

Thanks,
s7
