While putting together a new news server, I did some quick tests on some of 
the new ATA hardware.  So far so good in tests. It will be interesting to 
see how it takes a pounding with 30Mb/s being sent to it 24hrs a day :)

Using

PIII, 1G, 1G of RAM
HighPoint RocketRAID 404 (370 chipset), ahc 2940U

da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled

  1 READY ad10: 57241MB <ST360021A> [116301/16/63] at ata5-master UDMA100

ad8 was just a drive off the RocketRaid controllers, and ar0 being a stripe 
of the 2 drives.
vinumI = vinum with 2 IDE drives (both on single channels)
vinumS = vinum with 2 of the SCSI drives.
