I was going to say that!

Or at least, if you want performance, consider the bandwidth at every
point & look for bottlenecks. SATA isn't all that fast really, and bogs
down with bi-directional traffic (as they all do). So you need one
(physical) disk per channel for decent throughput.

A proper fibre array is indeed the way to go.
