Yes, I noticed that well. Unfortunately I seem to have a bad drive
as well so I will have to try swapping it tomorrow. Although it
might just be a cable / connector issue as smartmontools doesnt see
anything on the drive.

Dell's CERC sata raid thingy works fast for me but when I turn SMP
on read performance drops 50%+ (raid1,raid5,raid10 and single volumes).
I don't know if its aac problem or what.
In leenox it works very well though.

Steve - 3ware is very good.
Mike - I have some benchmarks from a guy using a Dell with a raid and was
surprised to see how slow they were compared to our other hardware.
I didn't
run them myself, but the guy is on the list here some place. I
can send you a
copy of the spreadsheet if you want to look it over.
