Disk performance is shocking:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# hdparm -t /dev/hd{a,c}
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 8 MB in 3.47 seconds = 2.31 MB/sec
/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 10 MB in 3.67 seconds = 2.72 MB/sec

but I think I have a workaround to that on Tikanga-list from a question
I asked before buying it.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /proc/cmdline
ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 pci=nomsi,nommconf hda=noprobe
hdb=noprobe hdc=noprobe vga=794
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# hdparm -t /dev/sd{a,b}
/dev/sda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 222 MB in 3.00 seconds = 73.91 MB/sec
/dev/sdb:
Timing buffered disk reads: 174 MB in 3.01 seconds = 57.79 MB/sec
