Btw, here's the bonnie++ results from two different array sets (10+18,

It might be interesting to see if 128K or 256K stripe size gives better sequential throughput, while still leaving the random performance ok. Having said that, the seeks/s figure of 531 not that great - for instance I've seen a 12 disk (15K SCSI) system report about 1400 seeks/s in this test.

Sorry if you mentioned this already - but what OS and filesystem are you using? (if Linux and ext3, it might be worth experimenting with xfs or jfs).

Cheers
