Nah, FCAL drives is where it's at.

My project is making some effort, i still wanna thank you guys for the advice of the sata to ide adaptor, the Delock one is really good 😀. I also managed to get my sound blaster live working under DOS but wasn't satisfied with the sound so i finally found a AWE64 ct4380 for about 26 euro include shipping 😀 and i added a Diamond Stealth 2001 2mb S3 trio64v+ i bought for just about 13 euro include shipping.

You're welcome. Someday you should try to put a WD Velociraptor into your build... You'll see the difference! 🤣

I have 6 raptors in raid 0 in my modern system, Yes they are stupid fast compared to most SATA drives. But if you really want speed get a SCSI card and some 15kprm scsi drives.

Why, what would be the point of doing that on a system where the max theoretical throughput you are going to get through the PCI bus is 133MB/s?

Much easier, faster and cheaper to just use a Promise SATA 150 PCI RAID controller and a single SSD. The seek time is going to be way, way, way, way less than any spinning rust setup can give you and you will be maxing out the available throughput as well.
