I have a box with 20 disks, split over four controllers (yes, you guessed
it: a news server).  Running 3.0-CURRENT from somewhere last month.  Very
happy with FreeBSD, very unhappy with INN.

I think you'd be better off with 4 GB disks - less latency when you have
to do a *lot* of seeks (like you have to for a news swerver), but that's
more a question for news.software.nntp.
