Good evening,

I think the acards mostly max out ich10r at 4x, however it does look like going to 6x R0 adds some random performance at the expense of some sequential read performance (see iometer results).

Test system is i7 965 on Gigabyte extreme mobo, 3x1GB G. Skill 2000/C9, 2xGTX295 Quad SLI (koolance blocks), cpu and vc's water cooled via 2xBoreas all in series. Boot drive via mtron 16GB and non-ich10r controller (on the mobo), Acard array standalone on the ich10r (exception - the acard is the boot array on ich10r for PCMark05 - Windows 7 build 7100)

Clocks - cpu @ 4.48 (35x128) ht off, memory @ 1792 (99924), pcie @101
