In the context of Asterisk, where disk I/O is either logging or voicemail, buying a 3ware card and a pair of IDE drives seems like a decent business decision.

I agree. Even more to the point, when using T100P's which need high quality, fast service from the CPU and the host bus, I would recommend putting your RAID in a separate box. Any cheap MOBO with a raid card, software raid, onboard raid controller, etc., should suffice since the only thing it will be doing is RAID and the maximum I/O rate will be 10MB per second or so, limited by the ethernet speed. If you use internet for a voice channel, make sure that you use a separate NIC to talk to the RAID, and assign it a lower interrupt priority than those used by the telephony hardware.
