Can you try hooking up 8 drives individually without the backplane and see how fast it runs for you? I believe your bottleneck is actually your SATA backplane, not the card.

Manyak, did you ever get your card working?

This wasn't my project at work so i kinda want to stay out of it, but..... we already have data on it, not mission critical data, but 10TB of data none the less. So i would rather not try to pull that off LOL. However that pdf i linked earlier of the MD1000 shows it doing over 700MB/s, so i wouldn't think the backplane in it is the problem.

hehe, i am just stumped with what is going on, i don't really understand the chaining of raid cards and what not, so i am kinda confused. I should take my question to another thread to stay on topic.
Perc 5/e rules!!!!

Your bottleneck is probably some stupid setting someone forgot about. Or just a bad wiring job or something.

So Duckie are you convinced this will work on any mobo with the pin mod?

I cannot guarantee anything. However, all reports that I found say it works fine with NVIDIA chipsets. Almost all issues arise on Intel chipsets and those seem to be caused by that SMBus conflict.

The card is recommend if you are running RAID0 with 4+ HDD, RAID5, or if you want the better performance.

With the BBU, your data is safer than if you had a UPS.
