Me neither, but if I had to start guessing about host connections, I would 
probably think FC.

While it would be a fun project, a toy like that would certainly exceed my 
feeble hardware experience and even more feeble budget.

At the same time, I could make a compelling argument that this sort of 
arrangement: stripes of flash, is the future of tier-one storage.  We already 
are seeing SSD devices which internally are stripes of flash.  More and more 
disks farms are taking on the older roles of tape.
