Take a look at this:

Cool!
BTW - based on the above benchmark page, I just immediately ordered 2 x of
the Areca 1220 SATA controllers (
http://www.areca.com.tw/products/html/pcie-sata.htm) so that we can compare
them to the 3Ware 9550SX that we've been using. The 3Ware controllers have
been super fast on sequential access, but I'm concerned about their random
IOPs. The Areca's aren't as popular, and there's consequently less volume
of them, but people who use them rave about them.
- Luke
