huh?  afaikt, it's just another overly expensive, overly complicated hw raid
controller.  I guess there must be a market for this kind of wrongheaded
crap, but I really don't understand it.

I guess it's just the impulse to offload whatever possible from the host;
that's an understandable idea, but you really need to look at whether it
makes sense, or whether it's just a holdover from bygone days when your 
million-dollar mainframe was actually compute-bound ;)
