JetStor, from AC&NC, is a *real* nice solid line of RAID appliances... and
esp. when you get to the bigger ones, runs half or a third the price that
NetApp, HP, or Dell RAID boxes run, literally. Really reliable hardware -
we've got some that have been running for well over six years with no
troubles (other than an occasional dead drive). (No, I'm not getting any
kickbacks from them - I really like their hardware.)

Can it do RAID 6?
