    Controller card for 8xRAID 0?

    I had the same problems with onboard software raid 5 with the ICH series with 4 500gb drives. My reads were about what you get just a tad less jumpy. My writes to it would top out at about 10.7mb/s. It also would only write to 5 1tb'ers in raid 5 at 10 megs. So i ended up getting an Adaptec...
