If you use the same type of IDE-to-SCSI-Adaptors as me, the are either
UW-SCSI or U-SCSI and use an ARC760 chip and have AEC-7720UW (e.g.) printed
on their PCB.

The UW version has a througput of 22..25 MB/s using one IBM DTLA 45GB disks
and doesn´t cost that much more than the U version.

You maybe should use a newer kernel. I personally still use 2.2.13 (but had
slight problems with the versions before) and RAID 0.90 19990824.

Maybe you could try setting /proc/.../md/min-speed to a higher value !?
