Ah, good point. The sda is a 60GB SSD, I should definitely move that to the PCI-E card, as it doesn't do heavy IO (just small random r/w). Then i can have 4 RAID HDDs on the onboard ctrl, and 2 on the PCI-E shared with the SSD. If the SSD is idle then I should get ideal throughputs.
Hmm, if you have an SSD, you might look at using bcache to speed up write access to your array. On the other hand, with only one SSD you potentially lose redundancy - do SSDs crash and burn like hard drives do?
If the SSD is only being used as a boot/OS drive - so near idle in normal use - I'd swap it for a cheap small laptop hard drive and find somewhere else to put the SSD to better use.
