[quote=DRR]Contrast that with internal RAID over SATA I, which would give you much more headroom - 375MB/s in a 2 drive configuration.
What drives? I haven't seen speeds that fast in the various benchmarks.

Me either...I only got around 270 in a 4 disk RAID 5.
To clarify - I was talking about the interface throughput potential with a two disk striped RAID, not actual disk performance. Was merely illustrating that disks are now faster than FW800, but will never be as fast as SATA striped RAID. You will never be able to saturate with SATA striped RAID because every time you add a disk, you have to add a new interface - you'll never saturate the bus.
