How stable is the current driver?

I have the AIC 7895 controller, so I can't speak to the driver's stability.
 However, I run raid0 with my system on a fast IDE and my data on two 4.1GB
narrow-SCSI fireballs.  I agree with Mr. Garnish's post that performance is
a little short of twice the performance of the two narrow drives in a
non-raid configuration.
