Anyone with a P5W, a question

Have you tried the EZ-BACKUP chip, looking at it is seems to be basically just a Silicon Image Sil4723 hardware raid chip, thus will take all the IO of the CPU when I use RAID... Just wondering if it's any good.

Also, as it's hardware raid will the Sil4723, when in RAID1, support read interleaving between the 2 disks??? Thus making the RAID1 as fast as RIAD0 on reads...

thanks
