DFI LANParty UT RDX200 CD-DR Review @ The Tech Report

It would seem that the "me-to" push behind the ATI crossfire also created a somewhat limited chipset. I think we all remember that even the might nForce was once the underdog in the Athlon64 arena.
"To help make up for the SB450's mediocre RAID support, DFI equips the RDX200 with an auxiliary Serial ATA RAID chip from Silicon Image. The Sil 3114 serves up an additional four Serial ATA ports and can handle RAID 0, 1, 0+1, and 5 arrays, but you won't find support for 300MB/s Serial ATA transfer rates or NCQ here, either. You will find a pokey PCI interface, forcing the Sil 3114 to compete for bus bandwidth with the RDX200's Firewire chip and its PCI-based Gigabit Ethernet controller."
