Guess I was wrong about the whole 'Port Multiplication' thing, if it
works in that mode.
Still, the original post also mentions that it's an H/W RAID
controller, so I guess the problem can be negated just by packing disks
into RAID0 or linear array, so it'll be one channel instead of three
separate ones.
Kinda curious about it's performance - H/W RAID cards seem to be more
expensive than fifty pounds and this one shouldn't have any interface
to draw power from CPU via OS drivers.
