About the 64bit /33mhz bus, sure it is quicker then the 32bit/33mhz bus, BUT if the SATA bus is only 15mb what difference does it make? Now if you were talking 4 U320 SCSI drives, then the larger PCI bus would make a difference because of the SCSI bus running at 320mb.

It will be fast...but it won't be very safe as far as data safety goes. One drive down and they all go. The raptors are supposed to be pretty reliable but I'm just saying.
seriously! unless you truely use something that requires insane STR, a raid 0 with four drives is simply rediculous

Are you saying there is such thing as too fast Neb? Simply Blasphemes

Do motherboards with integrated sata controllers still pass through the pci bus or do they go right to the southbridge? Since sata gives each drive a dedicated 150MB/sec could you get a lot more then just 133MB/sec if it doesn't pass through the pci bus?

Why not use RAID 0+1 with the 4 drives and get speed and reliability?
