But, I think the OP's real problem is that everything is tied to one
single large drive (i.e. the software mirroring is mostly irrelevant as
well as the controller type). These would get you a queue of
outstanding commands compared to a SATA, but if you want a big
difference in throughput or less latency when multitasking you really
have to split things over a bunch of drives, either with some other type
of raid or explicitly mounting different filesystems so you can control
which things compete for the disk head position.
