SATAII RAID 5

[Dempsey]

I'm thinking of getting a Highpoint Rocket RAID 2310 PCI-Express 4-Port SATA-II RAID 5 Host Adapter

But whats the performance increase for this amount of money, is it worth it?

Would I be better off RAIDing my SATA2 Seagate .10's in onboard SATA1 RAID 5?

Higher transfer rate and lower cpu load than onboard, Data redundancy is important for the amount of disc space i'll have, 1TB

The board i'll be getting only does RAID 5 on SATA1 too
