How few is "small number" - most importantly number per server? Replica 
3 is a start, as it already tells us you can lose at one entire server 
and carry on as normal. If you lose two, your GlusterFS is down.

What is your resilience goal? You should really be starting with 
requirements, not speccing out and buying servers and drives and then 
trying to force them to fit your expectations.
