The Storage Champions: ATA/100 IDE RAID Controllers From AMI, HighPoint And Promise
Business Disk Winmarks
Look at the results of four-drive setups with the Promise RAID controller! This one clearly outperforms the competitors, although it's surprising to see the RAID 0+1 setup perform almost as good as the pure stripeset, which is in fact better than the two-drive RAID 0 setup.
