I plan to create a mixed md device with one aoe disk and whatever else I
have on hand. But I have future designs on getting them to send one of
their "shelves" (10-pack O' "blades") depending on how things go with the
single kit.

How badly would the test be flawed if it was just one aoe device in a
RAID? I mean, at least for seeing how/if it simply locks up like plain
IDE's under md currently do (do they still? It's been two years since I
did any real testing).
