Well, I do not think it will help much with a larger journal...you want RAM speed, not single 250GB SATA disk speed.
Right now, I'd be happy with being able to configure the 3Ware care as a plain old SATA II passthru interface and do software RAID1 with mdadm - but no, Export JBOD doesn't seem possible any more with the 9550 (unless the units have previously been JBODs on earlier cards), you've got to use their 'Single Disk' config which exhibits exactly the same problems.
