Try AreaSYS electronics, they make an external ATA to SCSI RAID system
that operates independant of the O/S. I don't know how it would be in
terms of performance, but you might be able to put a few of these
devices on to a system, and use vinum/raid of the raid systems, (seeing
as how FreeBSD would just see them as giant scsi drives).
I believe they do a setup which houses 8 ATA disks, in which case you
could get away with more than what you're looking for with just two
units.
