When you say 'ide->fiber' that could mean a lot of things. Is this a single drive, or a RAID subsystem?
Yes, I do read it different now ;-)
It's a raid 5 with 12 400 GB drives split into two volumes (where I performed the test on one of them).
What does gstat look like on the server when you are doing this?
Also - does a dd locally on the server give the same results? You should get about double that I would estimate locally direct to disk. What about a dd over NFS?
What is the server spending its time doing? (top?)
If you are looking for the best performance, you might try a RAID 0+1 (or 10 possibly) instead of RAID 5.
