I recall this fondly when it came out. I had a few racks of Sun servers at that time...and anyone I showed the video too were convinced it was bullshit. April Fools anyone? However, Brendan and Bryan know their onions...and all the naysayers had to pause and think a bit. It too crazy to believe...and too crazy to not believe. I miss this stuff.

Edit: This was done when everyone ran spinning media. I wonder how modern SSDs hold up?

This works. I tried this on a Sun ZFS7320 under synthetic load to utilize all disks.

We all laughed to the video, too.

I did it on our fishworks box as well, before we put data on it. That could have been an amazing product if not for Oracle.
