You would get a real speed increase if you used 5 4GB SCSI disks. Those two 9ers are going to really drag you down. The computer can access SCSI disks concurrently, with one big disk you have to wait for one operaion to complete before you can do another. I would HIGHLY suggest reading the INN FAQ before proceeding.
