Can't remember where I saw this comparison, but if I find it I'll post a link.

I also have a strange problem with hdd recognition. I've had to put one of my disks on the orange EZ_RAID1 port (my storage disk), but the model number of the disk is not recognised. It simply shows as 'External Disk 0'. Seems to work fine, so just an annoyance rather than a problem. I did try to install on the EZ_RAID2 port, but that didn't work. Saying that, I haven't tried removing the jumper.
RAID0 you can use 2,3 or 4 disks. "Minimal" performance increase is subjective. I've seen the benchies too and 180MB/sec throughput compared to 260MB/sec is plenty to justify the price I paid for this cheap used 740ADFD from a friend.

I'm a RaptorRAID0holic.
