Promise SX4000 is an external ATA-SCSI box AFAIK.

I have an RM8000 (the difference should be only that it supports 8 PATA 
drives instead of SX4000's 4 and it is in rackmount form, not desktop) 
which can read about 30-40 MBps (yes, it's that slow) and write about 
the 10-20 MBps, when the cache is turned on.
