In fact you can add 2 hot-plug disks on this setup, connected to the
frontpane. We've bought this very same model with 10 15 rpm disks some weeks
ago, and it reached production last week.
So we have 2 OS raid1 disk (with /var/backups and /var/log --- pg_log), 2
raid1 disk for WAL and 6 disks in a RAID10, the 3 raids managed by the
included Perc raid controller. So far so good!
Some knowing-better-than-me people on #postgresql had the remark that
depending on the write transaction volumes (40 to 60 percent of my tps, but
no so much for this hardware), I could somewhat benefit in setting the WAL on
the OS raid1, and having 8 raid10 disks for data... which I'll consider for
another project.
Hope this helps,
