Firstly, £110 for 500GB ? I just bought 2 x 500GB Seagates for £75 each. For an extra £35 (47%) per disk they can keep their supposed extra performance.
Still works out cheaper than Hitachis 1TB solution - I can get 1.5TB of storage for the price they want for 1TB, and if you're talking price/performance then Seagate wins.
Secondly, Gary, repeat after me - RAID is not a backup solution !
