Apple's Xraid is actually two independent RAID arrays that just happen 
to fit in one shelf.  It is possible to use software level RAID 1 to 
stripe data across both sides of an Xraid, with each RAID part striped 
as well.  I don't know how fast OS X's software-based RAID is.  A 
suitable FC RAID card could help.
