    Makes sense...  From the board manual it tells me it can handle up 
to 6 3Gb/s SATA drives - there's only two of them in there right now: 
Seagate Baracuda's (7200)...  Maybe I should've shelled out for 10K 
drives.  Ugh.

    Seagate says:

       INTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (Mbits/sec) _______up to 1030
       SUSTAINED TRANSFER RATE (Mbytes/sec)______up to 72
       EXTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (Mbytes/sec) ______up to 300
