Pam: Take the nicklock into consideration too - this throws another variable into the equation.

I'd be tempted to buy a huge SATA drive (like a 2500JD) and put it on the second controller for your DVE. Then I'd put both existing IDE drives on IDE1 for storage and the 2 opticals on IDE2 - and forego RAID. This is the *simple* way of doing it.
