A large SSD RAID is great for multimedia editor scratch files,
databases, web server content, etc..  But, it is a waste for bulk data. 
  You could use the 500 GB and 1 TB drives for bulk data now, and then 
migrate to large HDD's/ RAID later.

For users, I track usernames, UID's, and GID's, and refer to that when 
creating accounts.


For services, I restore and chown -R if needed (I don't run many 
services, and the Debian project seems to have kept service UID's/GID's 
fairly stable over the years).
