I'll probably be selling my 5405 when new SSD raid cards get released (the 1405 is non raid). Performance does indeed suffer quite a bit by using the controller versus onboard (of course without taking cache into account, which makes the controller useful even with a performance drop).
All it really neads is a little BIOS TLC, performance is nowhere near what it can be. Much better "general" usage than the onboard still though.
