I'm looking at the reviews of sata raid controllers, and they seem to stop at SATA 150. I can't find reviews on the new SATAII raid controllers. So far the best SATA 150 raid controller seems to be the Promise FastTrak TX4. Promise makes a new version of this controller for SATAII, but I can't find a review on it. Since your bus speed is 33/66 anyways, I am thinking a SATAII Raid will only choke the bus, causing performance issues, which may result in slower operation than the SATA 150 Raid.
Also, how would performance of a single SATAII drive, compare to a 4 disk SATA150 Raid?
This setup is going into a strictly gaming maching, which is a Dell 8300, P4 3.2gig, HT, 800FSB, 2 gig ram.
Thanks!
