I still can't understand one thing the HDDs need to be super fast (like SCSI 15K RPM) to hold that speed 840Gigs to transfare from one drive to other takes hours ! so it has to be some crazy fast PC.

Meh, must be one of those personal supercomputer like stuff.
I wonder what AA will play like at faster-than-LAN speeds.
