SAMBA disk recommendations for a YDL G4

[Ken Lubar]

We are planning to move our primary file server (currently ASIP on a G3) to 
YellowDog on a G4-450/with AGP. What is the recommendation for disks and 
controllers for running the machine as a file server?  We need about 40 GB 
of "RAIDed" storage and about 250 GB of static storage (online copies of 
backup CD that never get written and could be restored from the CDs if 
needed).  We will have about 40 PC clients (running Windows XP/2000).  This 
machine will also need to support about 6 Mac clients (so we will also be 
running Netatalk 2.0).

Cost is a factor... I don't think I can spring for 10K SCSI drives and 
controllers...so I'm looking for recommendations for raided (or even 
non-raided) ATA or SATA drives & controllers that are well supported and 
work well on the G4.

Many thanks in advance.
