It's not super urgent for the home network, as the electrical charges for running the disk cabinet (4 A @ 117V) year-round are $266, way more than a brand new 20GB IDE disk. But it would be nice at work. We just decomissioned a Netserver LX Pro 166 that has a newer(?) HPDA card and 6 x 4GB of disk. For little money it could easily be a dual PPro FreeBSD box with RAID...
