No idea. Never dealt with that.

2Tb would really need raid5, so you would be looking at 5*500GB or maybe
4X750GB or 3*1TB, which would make it rather tricky to get a server with
that for under $3000. $4000 looks much more likely. Rack mount servers
do cost more, and for hosted systems rack mount is really the only
option.
I really wouldn't want a Dell if it was me.
