storage isn't about performance any more.  ok, hyperbole, a little.
but even a cheap disk does > 100 MB/s, and in all honesty, there are
not tons of people looking for bandwidth more than a small multiplier
of that.  sure, a QDR fileserver wants more than a couple disks,
and if you're an iops-head, you're going flash anyway.
