Indexer Configuration

We have 3 new HP Red Hat Servers we need to install with 13 already running. All of them have 8 drives and the new ones are 950G I believe. Any suggestions on the best configurations based on experience? I’m thinking for the overall hardware RAID, 4 drives backed up by the other 4. Now, for partitioning we have the following configuration on the other indexers;

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_splunkindexnn-lv_root
                       50G  2.0G   45G   5% /
tmpfs                  16G     0   16G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             485M   62M  398M  14% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_splunkindexnn-lv_home
                      468G  145G  300G  33% /home
/dev/mapper/vg_splunk_opt-splunk_opt
                      1.1T  758G  288G  73% /opt
/dev/mapper/vg_splunk_storage-splunk_storage
                      551G  218G  305G  42% /opt/storage
