That's about what I expected. RAID 5 depends on fast xor, so a slow processor
in a hardware RAID5 box will slow you down a lot.
You should try taking the two RAID5's (6 disks each) created on your original
controller and striping those together (RAID 50) - this should get you some
better performance, probably not as close as the amr device, but I would guess
somewhere in the 80-90mb/s range.
This can't be done in hardware, since atabeast only supports raid 0,
1, 4 and 5. But I will definitively have this in my mind this when we
get a new storage-system (a different one).
Thank you for your guidance.
You could use the atabeast to do two raid 5's, then use vinum to stripe
those two.
