These machines have 6 200GiB drives attached to a 3ware controller card,

later down you write you need speed. In that case i would suggest ditching the hardware raid, and use pure software raid, it is faster. I dont mind 3ware, i have dome myself, but my benchmarking revealed that software was faster.
True, but I'd sure hate to wait for a software array rebuild when the system crashes... I've only got a pair of 160G drives but I still hate waiting when the kernel has a problem. If your system is very, very stable this might not be an issue.
