@stevero- excelleent this will help tremendously, great find!

@dinos- adaptecs (at least the ones out now) cant handle SSD throughput. the only things that can are
A: ICH10R
B: 6gb/s controllers, of which LSI has a lock on the market right now
C: old controllers with huge cache, but it is really the cache that is giving the big numbers, not the controller, and in some real world scenarios they fall flat. but for PCMV they are uber.
