So the speed between the controller and drive is 3 gigabit. What is the internal transfer rate from platter to interface of the drive you are using? > but this is totally dissapointing.

But the interface speed doesn't make the platters spin any faster, or be any higher density. If I plug an old 213MB drive into a modern ATA133 IDE interface would you expect it to do more than 2 or 3MB/s? > On VT8237 (Asus A7V880, AMD K7) I'm getting in average > over 80 MB/s. > When reading from RAID0 it gets over 150 MB/s.
