This configuration is seriously stupid for a new file host.

You absolutely don't need that.

From my experience, break down into 2 servers

1. Main Server (where XFileScript Main Install)
E3-1230 or any quad core xeon
SSD Disk

2. File Server
Low End Quad Core XEON with a chasis supporting atleast 8 drive bays
SATA III Disks with hot swap in LVG (So you can upgrade easily)


This would cost lower than the E5. Also try to get a private LAN between these servers.

I would suggest you to go with server police's suggetion. I also thinks that way. Smal servers are better than one big server. get small servers with much storage.
