The data may be protected, but the uptime will be dependent on the uptime of all of those systems. Downtime of *any* of the systems in a load-share configuration means downtime for the entire pool. Of course this is the case with any storage system as more hardware is added but autonomously administered hardware is more likely to encounter a problem. Local disk is usually more reliable than remote disk.
