That's another good suggestion. Right now we don't know exactly how much
stuff works in the O2 PCI slot. There's a lot that could be tried. :)
From what I'm seeing in the linux-mips list, there's still some rough
edges in DMA support and a few things that might impact some drivers, but
a lot of stuff will likely "just work".

Since you want cheap, high performance and flexible storage

Then you can use either SATA or SAS disks with higher
performance than you can get from either USB or Firewire.
I have 3 SATA controllers in my old AMD Athlon server (a
repurposed desktop) at the moment, but I will try one of those
soon in my Sun E250 server to see if and how well it works
(on Slackware 12.0 SPARC).
