On a more practical note, probably everyone who needs multi-TB backups
already has a closet full of last-generation PC's or can buy one for
$100 or less. It's going to be cheaper to stick a new SATA card and a
couple of big cheap drives in a separate box with a free OS and
application than to throw exotic hardware or performance tuning at a
capacity bottleneck. The first thing to think about might be splitting
the windows and Linux targets off to separate servers, or some other
grouping that would maintain the best pooling of duplicate data.
