[SLE] device partitition for a powerful terminal server?



Hello. I am preparing a terminal server for 10 users to use through X
terminal. They need to store around 300GB data shared by everybody
(probably I can keep them in /var/shared, most of which are movies,
multimedia, sound, books) and further 100GB data for all users' own data
(a.k.a. /home folder should be no less then 100GB).

I can choose to buy 720GB SATA or SCSI harddisk, but I think it might be
better to get two 320GB SATA disk, for my old knowledge of IDE, arrange
files on more then two harddisk would be faster. e.g. swap can be on the
other disk then where /usr is. How do you think? Besides, has SCSI
significant advantage over SATA?

If I buy two harddisks, what's the best way to partition them?
My idea:

disk0 (320G) => partition0 = / (60G)
partition1 = /home (260G)
disk1 (320G) => partition0 = swap (2G, because we got 2G memory)
partition2 = /var (300G)

Just ask for correction and advices before I really try it. Thank you!
