i am sick to death of these POS bottlenecking devices in our computers............we have gizzilion core computers and crapillion GB RAM, super fast GFX cards and some crappy old hard drives which have been around for ages and are house and make everything else ancient on the system

i can't wait to get rid of them all. i can understand OPs frustration here but i would be like One_Hertz and not bother as it does nothing at all for performance
Fast slice as in take 10% of every drive and make it into one raid setup and the other 90% into the other. This way it uses the outer tracks of every drive. My avg response on my 20gb fast slice is 5.6,ms versus 7.8ms, which is normal for raptors. Its quite a boost.
