Using the bigger unit in two-port mode is effectively having two half-size units similar to an i-RAM each, needing the same interface requirement, so it's only fair to compare this to two i-RAMs similarly RAIDed.
Do you not have any empty sata ports? What is your point? What does it matter if it uses another one? Equating two hardware devices to one and saying that it is the same is ludicrious. Why dont you take two 4850s put them into CF and say that 4850 is comparable to 280gtx(which would take up the extra slots with its huge cooler)?
