I did that... before I got the raid setup, I tested the drives individually. they came up about 45/MB/s each, raided they come up about 50 MB/s. on the primary ide controller (onboard) I have the 160 gb disk), it does about 56-58 MB/s as a single drive.
I have a dvdr on the secondary controller, its suppose to be ata100. my primary is supposed to be ata133, but hdparm shows it as udma5, while the 200 gb disks show udma6. I was thinking of trying to put the raid drives as master/slave on the secondary controller, and test the performance... its probably better than the current setup.
