Satoshi! Shame on you...
Haven't you learned anything from our friend Joe Greco??
You're betting off buying two 2GB 5400RPM drives and striping them
with ccd, than buying one 4GB 7200RPM drive. You *will* get better
performance in almost all benchmarks, and most real-world use.
I'm surprised, especially after Jordan's recent conversion to this
religion, trumpets blaring loudly and all.
Trust me. Stripe your drives. It's worth it.
