I'm trying to find out how he's even using 1TB disks. He said this is
a Dell 2950 server. Well, look here:

http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedge_2950?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&~section=specs#tabtop

The largest drives they show for that server are 750GB SATA drives.
And to top it off they are only 7200 RPM. So first he's got the
performance hit of SATA instead of SAS, second the performance hit of
7200 RPM versus 10k or even 15k RPM. Sounds like this server really
has a number of issues relating of storage even before attempting to
determine a proper RAID configuration.
