I can swap the drives for 2x 7.2K 500GB SATA in RAID 1, to allocate some money for additional IP's, is that a bad thing to do, considering all the small writes Minecraft does?
Will network speed be limited if it were to be capped at 10mb/s, just to Australian players?
I would also like a tiny amount of information required to run these (not as a hosting company, just to pay for the server), knowledge in Multicraft, maybe WHMCS for payments and invoices, a fair amount of Ubuntu Server or CentOS knowledge?
Anyways, a SATA drive should be sufficent for a single server, however SSD is always preferred. Considering the low bandwidth (because... australia), watch out for (D)DoS attacks. Even a smaller one can use up lots of bandwidth, and you'll end up paying overage.
A SSD is way out of my budget, especially for more than one.
Is 3TB sufficient for this server, or even a smaller one of 16GB? The DC says that they have DDoS protection.
It will be filled my my own servers and others to pay for the monthly costs, but never over 75-80%
E3-1245 V2 3.3Ghz Xeon 4core 8 Hyperthreaded Cores
32GB DDR3
3.0TB
The server is located in Australia, hence the low bandwidth
EDIT: The drives that are currently on it are 2x300GB 10K SATA In RAID 5. I may go to SSD's eventually, it depends if the costs pay off.
The provider is Servers Australia, that posted this.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
