Not to mention that with the recent SATA drive sizes to get 1TB of SATA would only take 2 drive. However, if you want to use a multi-channel SATA controller with raid you will want to use smaller drives (like 4 x 300 or 8 X 250) so you don't loose too much capacity to parity.
With 8 drives, I'd probably want to make 2 parity for a server... As unlikely as it is for 2 drives to fail at once, that chance does increase with # of drives.
