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.
