Two SSDs would certainly overwhelm it, and any other similar card. I have a similar card, the Highpoint 620, in an older system at home (PCIe v1): it maxes out at 200MB/sec. So, it depends on what you want it to do. {I'll let others make card recommendations--I prefer to *listen* to those.} Phil -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
