Mike,
 You can't configure RAID 5 using the boot disks, only RAID 1.

So if you have a V240, 2 disks should be a RAID 1 to support the OS, and you
have 2 left. You can use RAID 1 as well, but the biggest size is of a disk
is 146 GB.

You can use a V240 connected to an old D1000, and using SVM you can
configure your RAID5. Don't forget to buy the SCSI Differential HBA.

V240 + SCSI Differencial HBA PCI + D1000 + SVM

The Ultra 450 is quite old and there are many versions. The basic version
only contains 4 slots for disks.
You have to buy the expansion controllers, so is the same as your V240.

Why don't you try with a V880? they always came with 6 disks.

Regards,
Daniel Nuno
