I'm looking at getting an SNT SNT-SAS425 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" bay SAS/SATA 2.5" Hot Swap Backplane RAID cage Daisy Chain Ready from Newegg will do those all as RADI-0.
I'am also looking at getting 4-crucial 300 64GB disks and running them also in Raid-0.
My RAID card will be a HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL 8-Port PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SAS/SATA RAID Controller by*HighPoint. It is a 6GB Card and I will be using dual 4into1 SAS cables from the RAID card to the Backplane on the 2.5 to 5.25 caddy.

My question is will the Backplane (SATA 2.0) even with the dual SAS, significantly interfere with the transfer speed of my new SSDs that can do 415MB limit, or will the dual SAS daisy chain mostly make that a non-issue. If I am going to go to this much trouble, I don't want to bottleneck things too bad, if at all.

I have looked around and I cannot get a straight answer on this question as this is the first time at all I have worked with SAS/SATA.
thanks!
