Host somewhere where you can back up your data, 200 gigs is a lot, but not unmanagable.

If you run with IDE, expect drive failures. We have a backup server running RAID on IDE drives and drives die about once/month.

Instead of going with RAID 5 on SCSI, I'd just have two servers and mirror them, you wont get better redundancy than that locally.
