The fastest RAID you can do under Linux is by using DPT multichannel controllers. The do RAID in hardware (no overhead on the host system compare to software RAID implementations like MD) and stripe over multiple channels.
Look at http://www.dpt.com and ask me directly or the people on the linux-eata mailinglist if you need more info.
