A board has 5 PCI slots right?
Means we can hook up 5 PCI IDE cards making a connection of 20 and plus the 2 on the main board that makes 22.

Could we just do a RAID1 for each pair getting us 11 workable drives.
Then use 1 pair as the / directory for the main OS stuff then RAID0 for the rest of the 10 pairs.

Then we will have 2TB of usable data!!
Is that safe?
