Raid10 is faster. I calculate, that the db is growing at around 1GBytes per week, So it could be an idea to have raid5 but with more than 3 disks (4 or 5 ?). Raid 10 with 15000 rpms is a pb cause we wont be able to get more space than 140 G with 4 disks (which should be enough for a year).
if disk space becomes a problem you could allways split the wikipedias onto different database servers. As the project grows this step is inevitable, eventually (we hope) each wikipedia will have it's own database server and slave. the disk-space will not be a problem and performance shouldn't either since they will be completely independent from each other.
