I have a ARC-1110 (4 poort RAID controller) with 4x 320GB Western Digital SATA-II drives attached to it in a RAID5 configuration. Simple dd(1)-ing gives around 100MB/sec read and 70MB/sec write performance. You can use sysutils/areca-cli to monitor it and update settings (I have never tried actually creating arrays there though). The controllers are a tad expensive, but once you have one, you won't reget it. Regards, -- Rink P.W. Springer - http://rink.nu "It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But yet a far more terrible thing, to admit it." - Darth Traya I have 2 arryas of 4 WD320G drives each running RAID0 (I have backups I just need the speed). root@homer:/nas #> dd if=/dev/zero of=test.file bs=65536 count=16384 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes transferred in 7.314186 secs (146802639 bytes/sec) -Clay
