Well - lessee.  Would those drives be attached to a Silicon Image (SII) SATA
controller?  A Highpoint?

I found in testing about 2 years ago that under Linux (looks like you're
BSD), most SATA controllers other than the Intel PIIX are horribly broken
from a performance standpoint, probably due to bad drivers but I'm not sure.

Now I think whatever is commonly used by Nforce 4 implementations seems to
work ok, but we don't count on them for RAID configurations yet.
