Yummie! 
Imagine 8 74GB Raptors.
2 in RAID1 for OS
5 in RAID5 for data.
One roaming hot spare.
Previously, those were SCSI territorial terms.
KEY FEATURES
* Four or eight Serial ATA II ports at 1.5 or 3.0 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
* 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X bus
* Support for both Serial ATA II Native Command Queuing and Serial ATA I/ATA-6 Tag Command Queuing
* Command pipelining using the EDMA engine
* Interrupt coalescing for minimal CPU overhead
* Serial ATA II Port Multiplier support
* Serial ATA Target Mode for peer-to-peer communications
* 2-wire serial interface for configuration via serial Flash/ROM
* Flash BIOS interface
* Per port LED activity indicators
* Spread Spectrum Clocking on Serial ATA ports support for reduced EMI
* Adjustable PHY amplitude and pre-emphasis settings per port
* Backplane drive capability
* High-performance SCSI software API model
* Software compatability with Marvell 88SX50xx Serial ATA I Host Controllers
Anyways...back to Earth.
Cheers!
