Well after a lot of playing around, bench marking I decided to go with a 6 disk raid 0+1 instead of raid 5. The raid on the mobo is pretty much junk and performance on the raid 5 was ~12MB/sec read and write. I wasnt expecting great performance for the integrated fake raid but not that bad. I debated to either just take the bite and go with a 6x 500gig raid 0+1 with 1.5TB usable space or spend $250 on a HighPoint rocket card with 8 Sata ports PCI-E card.
The performance on the integrated mobo raid on 0+1 is around 25MB/sec write, 80MB/sec read, which is fine with me, I’d rather not spend a ton of money to just get another 300gigs gain going to a raid 5.
