The *rated* was theoretical, and you couldn't ever achieve anything remotely close to it. Sticking a second drive out there makes it even worse. I'd at the very least dedicate a channel to each disk and just disconnect the cdrom drive if you have one in the system, or spend 2$ on ebay for a pci add-on controller. --Tim
