Hi Thomas,

Yes.

The same kind you would use in a normal server.  i.e. spec it for
your usage.

Personally I run out of IO before CPU or RAM so I try to use the
most performant RAID level - RAID-10.  If your needs are different
then you may choose differently.  Xen will work on whatever.

Cheers,
Andy
