According to Adaptec, their 16 port card with 64bit 66MHz PCI will 
transfer up to 1.5gigabit/s. That's a tad low I must say, that's only 190 

I think they're clearly pulling a marketing-weasel on you:
the 1.5 gbps is from sata's peak/theoretical/never data rate.

I routinely get 1.5 Gbits/sec on my 3ware, 8 port (8506-8) controller. 
8 SATA, 250GB WD disks (JBOD mode).  Like the Adaptec, it is also a
64bit 66MHz PCI.

Of course, reads are 1 megabyte each (but random on disk, not
sequential), but still, it is possible.
