You're life will be simpler, and your setup will be faster without having 
to muck about with it, if you just buy a good RAID controller with battery 
backed cache.  LSI/Megaraid and Adaptec both make serviceable controllers 
for reasonable prices, and as you add drives, the speed just goes up, no 
muddling around with sym links.
