Here's stats from a VA Research VARserver 3000 which uses the Mylex
DAC960PG-8M:

This is in a RAID-5 config with 5 9gb UW drives in a dual PII-450 with
512mb RAM running kernel 2.2.2-smp.

Have others noticed that increasing the file size with bonnie seriously
decreases the random seeks/s measurement?  I've seen the same thing
recently with software RAID-0 arrays.  The read performance is a little
better here, but write performance still isn't great.  I've seen numbers
from ICP Vortex that look better on writes, but haven't gotten to use one
yet.
