Last I looked the OpenRD wasn't out yet.

I know what you mean; my home server is now running off a SheevaPlug, 
and it is definitely a bit stressed. It's got five USB hard drives 
hanging off the single USB channel, and it doesn't like it. You can't, 
e.g., do RAID5 on USB as the bandwidth falls through the floor after you 
add the fourth disk. It would be very nice to have a device with more 
USB channels, and preferably SATA.
