I have 3 hard drives in RAID 5 configuration, and the performance is attrotious. It seems like (almost) no improvement in reads and some 75% degradation in writes.

I have 3 500MB drives for total storage of 1 GB, and I am planning to ghost back to single drive, after this unfortunate experience.

BTW, I am using integrated nVidia chipset for SATA RAID. Is there an alternative, within a reasonable budget, that would be less horrible?

PS: Yeah, HD seems to be the bottleneck for me, now even more so before I "downgraded" to RAID 5
