What command are you using to test the reads?

Some recommendations to try:

1) /sbin/blockdev --setra 2048 device (where device is the partition or LVM 
volume)

2) Use XFS, and make sure your stripe settings match the RAID.

Having said that, 102MB/sec sounds really low for any modern controller with 
8 drives, regardless of tuning or filesystem choice.
