Oh, Bigben, whats with the raid setup, you got 4 nice HDs... get yourself a good raid card (in other words, a 3ware).... you can get a 6410 for $99 (amazing deal, great raid card). Or if you want a really amazing setup, get a 7450, with a nice raid5 setup. Bets the hell out of 0+1 (not to mention, 3ware is one of the VERY few companies that actually makes true hardware raid cards).
I know, I know...

Just about anything beats a built-in Promise controller, and given the choice, I'd rather run in raid 5, but I just want a performance increase, without sacrificing reliability, and this will work, for now.

Maybe I'll write an article about switching to raid 5... whenever I get to it.
