If we going to use HDD with RAID 4x250GB will be much useful...
That's true. But which RAID? RAID-0 will be faster than single drive, but not safe. Higher RAID versions will reduce the total capacity in the end.

    2. But 4x250GB will use 4 SATA ports. You won't be able to install another one if you ever need to expand the storage capacity and/or mount a hard drive temporarily, unless you are lucky enough to have a motherboard with more than 4 SATA ports.
    Ive got 6 SATA 2 so no prob.4 with RAID 0/1/0+1/RAID5 and two with RAID 0/1.So no prob there too.BTW prob is I,ve got no 4 HDDs.

    Hehe. You know, your PC is too unbalanced.
