Hi Mike, I have been thinking about getting one. The guy I bought my 3ware 9500S-12 card has one he's getting ready to benchmark. I asked him to send me the details and I will pass them along here if I get them. He did mention it supports SATA2 - whatever that provides. It's supposed to be twice as fast on the speed from what I saw on 3ware's site. Speaking of the 9500S-12, I just did some benchmarks using that machine and MySQL reads/writes. As compared to a single SATA drive, the server was quite a bit faster when setup with the raid card and 4 10K Raptor drives. I have the benchmarks here if anyone is interested. I also just ordered 4 more 10K drives and I'm going to re-run everything in order to see how much of an improvement adding more drives has.
