Can you point me to a link that shows proof of what you say? In my own
admittedly informal testing I have found most onboard SATA RAID controllers
offer little or no performance advantage. With a 3rd party card ($$$$) there
are some speed advantages but I haven't seen this with any of the built in
controllers that I have used. It would be nice to see some impartial test
results.
