considering the port-cost of good raid cards, you could probably use md
and get 8 or 10 drives for the same money.   It's hard to beat more 
spindles for random access performance over a large dataset.  (of course, 
the power cost of another 2-4 drives is probably greater than that of a 
raid card)
