nevermind, i will just get a Promise array.

it's great that zfs allows us to take advantage of cheap disk.  sad that
Sun is still not competitive at the low end of the market.  it's not clear
to me who would buy a low end JBOD (4200/4400) yet want to pay 5x market
price for disks.  (in my case, reuse my current disks.)
