Regarding payloads, I've recently bought an EVGA motherboard off newegg for $120 and it supports upping the payload to 4096 bytes.

I use it for my primary array: 8x1TB disks. ASUS gaming motherboards allow changing the payload as well.
So far I've not found a single motherboard that supports this *and* uses AMD CPUs. This appears to be an Intel feature only. I'm sure my manager would prefer if I can get this performance upgrade with only a motherboard swap instead of a motherboard, CPU, and possibly RAM swap.
