Yes apologies for that.

Can you do a test on the R4?

@bluzytrix - Have you reviewed your comment, yet? Take a look at the benchmark software screenshots that are accompanying the video... Those are in MB/s. Pretty mind blowing numbers, huh? Anyone would think vmc1010's numbers were off. But, no. This is the real deal. :)

Fantastic review. Unfortunately I want one now to pair with my 2011 MacBook Air :)

Is it true that the drives are hot-swapable? Can you change/increase the size without having to reformat the raid? According to the Promise website, you have to buy the drives from their "Approved" list.

Please be careful with the distinction between bytes and bits. Little b is bits while big B is bytes. There is a factor of 8 difference between them. Your entire chart is expressed in mega/giga bits per second but you said mega/giga bytes. Otherwise, great review!
