The company I work for makes a 1U rackmount machine.  It has a RAID-1
mirrored disk subsystem.  The machine takes two IDE hard disks, and the
RAID-1 board makes them appear as a single SCSI drive to the CPU.  The
IDE disks are hot swapable.  (Sorry for the commercial, but if you need
more details, see http://www.gallantry.com/Doc/PDF/GallantRACK-1U.pdf )
