RAID on Sandy Bridge

On Sandy Bridge chipsets, is the built-in RAID controller adequate to deal with ~1GB/s throughput from a couple of SATA3 SSDs, or would I need to look at an x4 PCI-e RAID card?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt it... pretty sure you'll get the most out of your drives with a proper hardware controller.

Should be no problem if it's straight RAID 0 you're after. You can even RAID across controllers fine.
