Does anyone ever get even close to 3Gb/s on their hard drive? I have SATA 
drives and I get about 80MB (340Mb/s). I have a hard time believing that 
Linux has 5x overhead writing to a hard drive.  Is there some SATA card I 
don't know of that's significantly faster than the bus I have or something?
