[plug] Good fast Raid hardware Controller

[Shannon Carver]

That's probably the question.  What speed improvements were you 
expecting?  My drives do about 30MB/s sustained transfers between each 
other (slower for ones on the same channel or PATA ribbon), so when I 
was getting 45-55, its nearly twice the speed.  Happy with that.  I 
think the results are very different with say a SATA raid card, and 4x 
WD Raptors 10,000rpm drives in Raid-0.

I'm not sure if you read OCAU at all, but:

The first one specifically.
