Nice build, I have something similar but with 3TB disks. My disks are grouped into 8 disks as the thought of trying to recover the whole array if that fails I'd probably cry a little.
Also I invested in 10GbE, at first was only server to server using some SFP+ NICs and DAC leads I picked up off eBay for between £10 and £80. But have since bought a couple of Dell 5524 switches and a PCIe enclosure for my Mac and having 650MB/s read/write to my server from the desktop certainly reduces the waiting around :)
