Jim,

I think for that many users I would want more drives then that. I would spring for 2 more drives, and I think you will find that a great machine. Every iSeries box tends to be I/O bound, and with only 2 drives which are mirrored, I think you are asking for trouble if you have any I/O intensive jobs.
