In TweakTown's latest article they compare the Serial ATA RAID performance of controllers from Promise, Silicon Image, Highpoint and nVidia. They compare both 32-bit PCI based solutions as well as nVidia's new native nForce 3 250 solution on two revision 2.0 Western Digital Raptor hard drives in RAID 0.

Very nice performance seen from the native solution. This shows us some interesting numbers since we're going to soon see PCI Express-based parts and SATA2 is being finalized. This ought to be good  |

his statement about pata being dead is a load of bollocks to some extent. I still own 0 sata disks |

0 here also, I see too little diff for the extra cash as it is now, I'll wait till the 2nd generation of SATA becomes mainstream to make the jump. |

Have you actually seen the performance difference Raptors have over PATA drives? Are you kidding me? I love my 2 74 gig Raptors in Raid 0. |

Yea yea, but I'll bet the next one you get will be SATA (assuming you have SATA connectors). New HDD lines will probably not include IDE models anymore, as we can see with the raptor. |

hmm, not particularly likely, i'll probably upgrade my scsi disks to higher rpm ones. |
