But I do not know for sure without testing it. I personally am going to stick with the new 16 port version. Which is a PCI- Express card and has twice the CPU power. Since there are so many spindles it should be pretty darn fast. And remember that even tho the drives are 150MBps they realistically only do about 25-30MBps.
