I would use mdraid mirroring on a system like that. Cabling-wise, you
would need a non-raid SAS card for the supermicro, one with 1-2 SFF-8087
4 channel SAS connectors, as the supermicro case has expander backplanes
If thats all too much, then buy a complete system from a VAR who
integrates it for you, or something like...

(which sure looks like the exact same thing to me)
