Creating a file storage?

It is necessary for the enterprise to create a file storage, where data will constantly rotate.
Channel will be: 1 gigabit
Server: HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 LFF (nothing bought yet, only planned)
Two drives Hard drive Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 4TB 7200rpm 256MB HUS726T4TAL5204_0B36048 3.5" SAS
(In raid 10 will work)
These drives will be enough for the channel in 1 gigabit?

Will not. Only RAID1 or RAID0. RAID10 is a combination of 1s and 0s, designed to provide the reliability of the first and the speed of the zero. Accordingly, there must be at least 4 disks (and then an even number). Well, of course, the disk utilization rate is 50%, that is, for example, to get a 4Tb store in RAID10, you need 4 pieces of 2Tb disks.

1500 people users. Disk system 12 disks, 2x1 gigabit network interface is enough!
The data is mostly pdf + ms office documents. Unless, of course, the vidos are constantly downloading everything, then it may not be enough.

Won't work, raid 10 from 4 disks only.
Will these disks be enough for a 1 gigabit channel?

If you upload/download large files (from 500mb) - that's enough. If there will be work of several dozen people with a bunch of small files, two disks will not be enough, you will run into disk IOPS

The network connection will be the bottleneck anyway. Therefore, I would not worry about the disks.
It is worth building a storage based on:

  1. needs in place
  2. access speed,
  3. shadow copies,
  4. snapshots,
  5. planned growth in disk space utilization

And multiply it all by 2 (minimum)...
