After the initial attempt to use Adaptec 2010S ZeroChannel raid
on one Supermicro Dual Opteron server that we use in our office,
i was really dissapointed by the abyssmal performance of this so
called raid card.
Then i have switched to GEOM stripe + mirror combination for RAID10,
and everybody is happy ever after :)
The zero channel was literally blown away by the gsripe+gmirror 
performance in the benchmarks that i have made.
