But who still has a PCI-X slot... (I struggled just to find a
motherboard with a sensible amount of PCI slots in recently to upgrade
my media PC which needs a bunch of PCI tv cards in it! grr)
I think PCI-X is going to be close to saturated also? It's only 1TB/s I
think? Given a couple of badly behaved devices chewing interrupts then
I wonder how close you can get to theoretical given that you probably
pull 60-100MB per drive these days? (straight line speed)
