Why?

Consider this simple case: A two-drive mirrored array.

Use two dual-ported drives, two controllers, two power supplies,
arranged roughly as follows:

  -- controller-A <=> disk A <=> controller-B --
                  \            /
                   \          /
                    \ disk B /

Remind us where the single point of failure is in this arrangement?


disk backplane?
