Its bigger than I really need anyway.  At the moment I'm playing with
solstice and an RSM-214, but I have my eye on a digital array.  I'm
thinking either stuff the digital array with 9 gig drives (after RAID5,
that should be 42gigs), or run a RAID 10 and a RAID 0 (RAID0 for things
like FLAC files, source tarballs, etc, raid 10 for home directories,
databases, etc), depending on if I score the digital.

The MTI would have been cool, but probably too power hungry anyway.
