 I have a couple of really old clunky 330mb SCSI drives, that can only
 push about 1mb sec reads, 0.8mb sec writes... put together and 
 striped the ccd device does a good 1.6mb/s reads/1.4mb/s writes...

 (figures are done with iozone in non-optimal conditions...)

 I'd say that with a couple of decent newish drives you'd get quite
 good performance... i'm using my ccd device for a newspool and a
 web cache (so it doesn't matter if i loose it :)
