To the people who are looking to put this on software raid I would think twice:

These types of drives are quite awesome in hardware raid with cache, but not too good on software.
The point you are missing is the small file write speeds on this Apex, its very fast. Now the controllers are not IO monsters but the raid controller does help. I have a feeling 2 or more of these on SB raid may be killer. i wish I had another here as i would have shown it for sure.

you guys need to get away from needing 5 gazzilion IO/s 4k random writes, you don't need that to have a good experience...Im trying to find just what you DO need to have stutter free untweaked and tweaked.
Going by what i feel this drive is performing like its not that many..maybe just 1 gazzilion...
