The single-drive-from-multiple disks thing sounds interesting, but
only if it's an improvement of the existing dynamic drive stuff.
The chances of a failure with multiple disks are of course higher,
so if it can survive a disk failure (i.e. you only lose what's on
the failed disk), that might be a viable solution for people like me
who want to serve media and have it all backed up on DVD already.
