that's a good point.
our first product used laptop drives. at the time one could get more
bytes/u of rack space with laptop drives. that's no longer the case.
sata drives have gotten much larger and faster. laptop drives have
gotten a little bigger but not much faster.
if you want a really cheep aoe device. use vblade on a pair of
fs(3)-mirrored sata drives. i do that at home.
