I thought of another way of answering this.  In the end, what I need
is a system that allows me to use lots of hard disks through a unified
interface.  Its either going to require hardware and fancy software,
or fancy hardware and software.  Given those two options, especially
if there is an open source software solution, the fancy software is
going to be better bang for the buck.
