Ten 100Mb ethernet cards should get you far more than 24MB/s reads.
Even if your ATA disks are so slow as to only push 5 or 6 MB/s, you
should thus be able to pull down 50 or 60MB/s.

Easy, killer.

Anyway, my point was not to slam Coraid's boxes, but to point out that
you can build your own AoE targets and likely do better than their
hardware can -- 100mbit hardware or not.
