as long as they would be able to be as fast as a single disk we win.  don't
need super speed in this case.

should be able to, all depends on the raid hardware.  should help though, as
you don't have to do a lot of calculations for striping like you do with raid
(calculating parity data)  still, as long as it's as fast as a single disk,
that is all we need.

now, does something like this exist?  has to be self contained (no computer
needed) as well as IDE attached and looking like a drive.  the TiVo isn't
the smartest thing in the world i'm guessing, so we'd have to fudge it some
drive params.

thoughs?
