The former are SCSI disks and the latter is an SATA controller. The
combination would have a transaction rate of approximately 0.
I can vouch for the Areca controllers, however. You can certainly
achieve pgbench transaction rates in the hundreds per second even with
only 5 7200RPM disks and 128MB cache.
Don't forget to buy the battery.
