Once the Maxtor MaxLine II's ship in volume, you'll be able to configure
a single RAID5 volume one a 12-port 3Ware controler with 3.2TB of space.
With the new 16-drive 3U chassis from rackable, you'll be able to get
all the way to 4TB with a little help from some software striping.  It
would be nice it we had the support in place before this happened since
I'm looking at using big ATA RAIDs for incremental backups.
