Would you be able to qualify this assertion? Thinking through it a bit, even if the disks are better than average and can achieve 1000Mb/s each, each uplink from the multiplier to the controller will still have 1000Gb/s to spare in the slowest SATA mode out there. With (5) disks per multiplier * (2) multipliers * 1000GB/s each, that's 10000Gb/s at the PCI-e interface, which approximately coincides with a meager 4x PCI-e slot.
