Just got my IDE => SATA adapters, now the question is which Serial RAID setup to use, anyone have some experience with both and which is the better one to use
The Intel RAID chipset does not run on the PCI Bus and therefore would help minimize PCI congestion. A lot of people set up a RAID 0 (like 2 WD Raptors) on the Intel chipset.

This is the set-up I am currently running. I have used the promise controller in the past as well. I cannot see any real difference. I will admit however that the machine as a whole seems to run better.
Currently my stripe size is 64k ans cluster size is 16k. I will try and tweak the cluster size and post the results.
I was all excited about getting my RAID on the Intel setup and found through trouble shooting that one of my IDE to SATA converters was bad (bummer) so now I have to RMA it and find out if I can get a replacement.
