Which one do you choose for the server which only server as storage and url link to it(with IIS or PHP).
The purpose is to unticipate the size will grow as big as flickr or Myspace.com
1. CX400 can support up to 60 disk drives (with a total capacity of 4.3 TB), up to 512 logical disk units, and up to 64 host server connections. It has a peak performance of 60,000 I/O operations per second and an I/O bandwidth of 680 MB/sec.

OR

2. Or using less number of disk drive maybe 15 per each operating system, but take more space in hosting. However, it will be able to handle more connections perseconds for each links.

So basically comparing
a. 5 Operating system with big size hard drive each 5 terabyte
OR
b. 25 Operating System with 1 terabyte each

Thank you
