how long would it take to replicate and rebuild a volume  across the LAN 
via iscsi?  if each of those slices was 500GB, you'd be reading 3 x 
500GB and writing 500GB before the drive was resynched.   note, a single 
drive on each storage controller in this scenario won't even achieve 
1gigE speeds.
