Will it be a master/media, or just a media with the Master at your Main
site?
Makes a bit of a diff, since a Master will have much more IO to the
local catalog.
With that much data, I would have no problem going with the T2000 with
the 4 disks.
Create a RAID10 RG, and cut it up into slices for OS and NBU.
With striped mirrors, you should have any IO issues.

You could probably make due with two separate RAID1 RGs, once for OS and
one for /opt/openv/.

The V240 has MORE than ample PCI IO for that amount of data, but if the
T2000 is cheaper, I'd go that way.
If/when you eventually need more performance for the catalog, you can
put it on FC-SAN disk, or an external FC array.
