Not yet no, but that's a good suggestion and I do intend to give it a
whirl.  I get about 27MB/s from raid 1 (10 is about the same) so
hopefully I can up the throughput to the speed of about one disk with
sw raid.

For kicks I did try raid 5 on it; 6.9MB/s made it hard to resist
going to get the hammer, which is still a very attractive option.
