There's also the issue of what is going to happen when the server attempts to recover from an unclean shutdown. Even with 512MB (memory upgrade), a 4100 with 4 120GB drives falls back to swap-based fsck, which takes approximately forever. If you disable Java and the Snap Extensions, the fsck just barely fits in RAM. If larger drives were possible, it could take days to check the filesystem.
