What you suggest sounds reasonable if the performance is what you expect. I assume swap is on the 18G 15k disks. We're gearing up on SAN-connected IA-32 boxes. We find that the SAN is significantly faster than internal drives, so I would (if I were you) plan to check on that in your setup before committing on the internal-vs-external allocation of the 144G devices. Entry-level vs. enterprise is significant, but our mini-SAN is still faster than our internal storage.
