The big thing missing is a RAID 4 hardware controller. All the other vendors are relying on RAID hardware to do high-performance; that's why they don't offer RAID 4, and that's why Netapp will continue to be a better solution. :)
I thought at least the parity calculations in a Netapp were offloaded to an ASIC, so it doesn't tie up the general-purpose CPU with trivial calculations?
