Each PCI-e x1 card has 1 veliciraptor on it now.
Got an x4 card wit 4 sata ports:
Not quite the > 1 gbyte/sec I was hoping for in regards to the reads
but pretty close!
(For my RAID5)
Previously my write was limited to 400-420MiB/s now I see an additional
120-125 MiB/s increase!

For all disks:
Something I noticed is the x1 PCI-e cards are doing around 68MiB/s each
for 3 of them where the x4 has no issue pumping out 100MiB/s+ without a
problem, however keep in mind the bus is probably already taxed from the
6 sata drives on the southbridge.

Just about 1 gigabyte per second total aggregate read for all drives on a
965 chipset!
