they ARE expensive. I have limited room in my 1U. Maybe one day I WILL
add another disk (no raid at all) for backup snapshots.

as for the RAID0 space, as I told you it's a staging area only. I have
no problem with losing all the data on it, though I may break it up one
day.

yup, I know.

I also noticed that I made a "mistake" of creating the RAIDs under
kernel 2.4 and not 2.6. looks like 2.6 won't see/show the SATA drives as hde
and hdg, but as scsi devices instead, in other words one needs to change
quite a few configurations to change kernels and there is no turning
back.
