There is no difference. Pick the server which offers the disk bandwidth
and I/O's per second which you need.

Do you really need 1TB disks? If you do, be careful what you place on
those disks. Reading e.g. a voice mail or a speak off a large slow
platter which is busy writing CDR's does not sound good at all.
