I should mention, though you probably already know it, that adding a new unit is the way Lefthand does their expansion.
If you've got two units in HA, adding a third of the same size give you double the space - kinda like RAID5 over the network. I believe that the software can be had separately from the hardware, if you're in the mood to roll your own, but I'm not sure that's a road I'd take, unless, for instance, I could get Dell hardware substantially cheaper than HP hardware.
