so the only disadvantage with intel raid is no cache and uses cpu for raid processing?
There is cache on the Intel RAID also. It just uses the System RAM instead of the card RAM. This is actually faster cache as no PCI-e device can transfer to memory faster than a memory copy can(and if the driver can do some MDL optimizations, there is no need for a copy even)
CPU usage is no concern really today. The reliability of integrated solutions isn't noteworthy, though I have never had problems with them, several members have reported dropped arrays.
Areca is worse for me though in every regard except number of ports
P5E64_Evo/QX9650, 4x X25-E SSD - gimme speed..
I've been using R0 via the ICHxR controllers for many years with 2-3 HDDs/SSDs and NEVER had a single drop, ever. Probably 10-15 different mobos, multiple systems, multiple different drives (mostly Raptors, VRaptors and SSDs.
ICH has been 100% reliable for me.

For 4 x X25-E 64G in Raid 0, I suppose we need a dedicated raid card?
Yeh mate, a LSI card with fasthpath.. preferably the LSI 9260.. Quick question u said the iCH9 has a limit of 660mb/s, What about the ICH10?
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

Sony KDL40 // ASRock P67 Extreme4 1.40 // Core i5 2500K //
G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 4x2Gb // HD6950 2GB // Intel Gigabit CT PCIe //
M-Audio Delta 2496 // Crucial-M4 128Gb // Hitachi 2TB // TRUE-120 //
Antec Quattro 850W // Antec 1200 // Win7 64 bit
If I were building a system _today_ I would use 3-4 x25-e's on ich10. Unless you have some specific need for higher sequentials the ich10r is a beast.
The 9260+key is great but for most everything other than a few niche cases (and synthetic benchmarks) the ich10r+some intel slcs will give you an extreme high end storage subsystem.
The 1880 may change things, however what info has leaked out isn't mind blowing.
If you're like me you want all your apps to open instantly, and they will, an increased as ssd score won't open anything any faster.
