[XCSSA] I hate Silicon Image...

[X-otic Computer Systems of San Antonio]

...long story short, I'm only getting 2-6MB/sec write performance per  
drive. I think this is because of the chipset being used (SiI 3112). I  
know it's notorious for completely sucking. Oddly enough, this chipset  
is what is on the LSI MegaRAID card. That's how I ran into the  
problem, in fact. I disabled my RAID BIOS so I could do software RAID  
and spin drives down, etc.

The actual story is much more complex and sad, but I figured I would  
stop here :)

Yes, I know, getting a new card will solve the problem :) I'm aware. I  
just would like to buy some time until I can find a suitable  
replacement (which will probably be an ITX board with on-board SATA  
ports).

Thoughts?
