I've had a Mac Pro with an Apple RAID card for about a year now. I use it to 
drive 3 SATA2 disks in a RAID5 configuration.

I haven't done scientific before-and-after comparisons, but it is rare for 
me to be sitting there thinking "Damn, I wish my computer was faster". It 
has met my expectations and has not had any problems.
