e speed to some arbitrary value. A lot of factors come together to give you a max speed. Obviously you are hitting a bottleneck somewhere that is lower than you think it should be. Does 3ware advertise the card is capable of 600 Megs/sec? It seems an 8x pci-e card would be capable of higher performa
