Default SATA Drives - RAID 0

Greetings
I've been reading posts about SATA drives set up as RAID 0.
I have a P4C800 DLX with 2 x Maxtor 120 SATA drives on the promise
controller configured as RAID 0
For those who have similar setups - I'm interested in knowing what kind of
throughput are you getting?
Using SANDRA I'm getting 63500KB/s.
My system's working great, but somehow I thought the drives could be faster.
Any tweeks out there??

JT.

I had serious problems with the RAID controller of Promise, to be fair on an
AOPEN Board in RAID1 mode. Reported my disks as bad while they have no error
at all, disks were very noisy and system crashed upon defrag.
I will not touch the crappy Promise on-board RAID system again. I am now on
S-ATA single with the INTEL controller and the disks are very silent ultra
quick and stable.

MMMmmmm.

Might have been the driver.... Or older drives.

There has been some knocking of the Promise controller (and also the VIA
1394 controller) on the P4C800 but I'm just curious as to what speeds
others are getting.

By the way - I hooked up my external firewire drive to an Adapatec firewire
controller and got poorer results than with the onboard VIA chipset..
