I've run some imperical tests on the Adaptec 2400A raid controller (results and setup can be seen here):

I was rather disappointed with the results. Can anyone suggest what might be causing such slow disk speeds, or whether these speeds are out of the ordinary for a 4-disk FreeBSD RAID5 installation? I have done nothing to configure the card aside from striping the array in BIOS; FreeBSD seems to automatically detect the disks.

I once ran a 2-disk RAID-0 installation on Win2k which was 6-7 times faster on sequential read/write tests (60-70MB/sec), hence my dismay.
