I do recomend Promise's SATA controller cards. The kernel drivers are excellent
imho. As well as my onboard Promise TX2, I'm using a thei S150 SX4 RAID5
capable controller in my file server. A controlle ard should be easy enough to
finnd online. I shop at NewEgg.com. Good prices, highly rcommended.
I'm gonna take a look at your .config as soon as I get back to my own computer.
Cheers.

What kernel/driver are you using for the S150 SX4? I couldn't ever get
better than 13MB/sec from it in 2.6. Of course, the last I tried was
2.6.3. I could get 55MB/sec using 2.4 and Promise's partial source
driver, but since my onboard SATA controller works fine in 2.6 I'm just
using that meanwhile.
Thanks,
Simon
