gollark: Well, maybe not that slow, I don't know the exact details of OC networking, but at least would make latency a bit higher, and stress any relays you use.
gollark: 4 drives to a server would allow... 12MB? each, which is much more than you can do now, and would give each node a decent amount of computation power (especially with data cards), but splitting everything across the network would be sloooow.
gollark: You could possibly make some sort of storage clustering thing - servers can have 4 drives each, after all, and use all of them for remote-accessible storage if they network-boot with an EEPROM.
gollark: But accessed as one peripheral *from another computer*, I mean.
gollark: Except for another computer and some network cards, but latency.
