I have a PERC 5/i RAID controller currently hosting two drives in RAID 1. I am about to add a third drive in "direct" mode, just a normal physical volume.
Would performance be better if the drive is attached to the motherboard's controller or to the RAID...

How much data is across the 3x146GB HDD's ?
Have you looked at LVM Snapshot ?
