I used to do the promise mod thing back when I was a starving college student. I found that it wasn't very fast, and eventually my card died leaving me with a large loss of information. Now I own a 3ware card and get read speeds of around 95 Mb/s with a 5 drive raid 5. When you force a piece of hardware to do something it's not designed to do, you have to accept that it's not gonna be as good as the ones designed for that purpose which cost a lot more.
