AND I need to make sure I don't have throughput issues.
That's the only concern, are RAID 1 drives fast enough to take the data ingress.

I actually don't know - as much as I spout to others "what IOPs do you need" I've never successfully discovered my own need. I've tried a few tools a few times and walked away a day or two later just confused. Hard to admit..
I do admit I need help in getting that working so I can use it.

It'll be IOPS, not throughput, that is your bottleneck here, most likely. You might need to go to a four bay unit. That will double the ingress rate. And 7200 RPM drives are a must, that means Red Pro, 5400 are almost certainly going to be too slow.
What data is being sent to this? How much over what period of time?
-
Actually, don't answer that here. Post a new thread asking the question and just link to here as a reference. Put in the info about the $2K 2.5" RAID 6 idea and the NAS with SATA drives idea and let's run through some diagnostics.

OK

Thanks! Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Did the OP end up buying anything?

And how is it working for you?
Are you happy with the purchase?

What did you load onto it?

I'll let you know when I get it
It should be here Wednesday. -
It arrived today! XenServer is installed and I'll be setting up VMs tomorrow.

Awesome. Nothing like the feeling of unboxing your new server.
