The faster rpms will get you more concurrent I/Os per second but won't
do as much for throughput. My asr 3200S cards got repurposed before I
could try them with 5.x, but with the 370F firmware I'm pretty sure I
was able to get more than 40MB/sec reads out of them on 4.x with 4-disk
RAID5 sets. Since the asr driver needs Giant, try a UP kernel and see
if it goes any faster.
