Getting a promise SuperTrak EX8350

Right now I have a storage server that's running linux software raid 5 using 3 disks. I'll be running out of disk space during 2006, and some better performance would be nice too, software raid being what it is.

So I'm looking at getting one of these:

Does anybody have any opinions about this board? Anyone try it out? I want to use something that uses PCI-Express, since those motherboards are common. I'm looking at spending around 3000USD on this setup, and it would be nice not be disappointed Getting a promise SuperTrak EX8350

I don't know if I'm going to use RAID 6. Isn't that a little overkill that will damage performance?

Anyways, a few comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks Getting a promise SuperTrak EX8350
