I recently purchased two additional SATA HDD's to add to my RAID array, already consisting of two 120GB SATA HDD's.
My motherboard only has two built-in SATA RAID channels, so I had to purcahse a PCI SATA RAID controller with 4 channels.
Then, I got to thinking about the PCI bandwidth speed.
Would that lower the speed of my disks, from taking them from two on my motherboard, to four on a PCI SATA RAID controller - since it's going over PCI?
