The hit to iop performance is mainly due to the large number of cores in |
| 10 |
the the high end Intel cpu. I suggest you find a nice 4-core Intel |
| 11 |
processor, something non-extreme. you'll find all your IO will improve. |

Again, if you're serious about RAID, get an LSI MegaRAID card. While I |
| 20 |
have my dislikes about the LSI controller, it's a lot faster than using |
| 21 |
MD and much faster (and more reliable) than any bios software RAID. |

Oh, and don't believe all the published numbers on drives, |
| 24 |
etc...benchmarking is an art. |
