After several long years now I have the opportunity to do the project on
SMS and I am really looking forward and eager to do it. I have not had the
time yet to go through the document which I am going through, but would
like to ask few questions before I proceed.

1. Can I have a single partition (146.8 GB x 3 HDD) RAID 5 capacity of
280GB? Preferably with the database stored on the SAN? or

You can do anything you want! (just kidding)

2. Can I have two partitions (System and Data) on the server and store the
database on the server? If so, will the above disk space be sufficient
based on 1000 desktops with a growth of another 200 desktops the next 5
years?

That is plenty more than you will need for 10000 desktops :) With regards to
splitting partitions, that is really your call. There is no right answer
here, other than if you do create a system partition, don't make it too
small :)
