Help on deciding which RAID for a file server

R510 PERC 6i
Windows 2003 R2 x64
50 shares with most likely no more than 20 users acccessing files at the same time

I have four WD RE4 1TB 7200RPM drives (Enterprise) that I can either put in RAID5 (2.7TB) or RAID10 (1.8TB).  I won't have more than 200GB of data on it at first, so this either configuration will last me for years and years.

 

I'm leaning towards RAID5 since the read performance should be acceptable and I won't need the fastest write times.

 

Any thoughts?
