Steve,

Just out of interest what RAID level was the 5 disk array? - as 180Mb/s from an Areca 5 disk RAID0 or RAID5 array is not that good - my old 3Ware 7506 with 4 Maxtor IDE RAID0 gets 175Mb/s. Obviously if your array is RAID10, the 180MB/s is very good!

If you are using RAID0|5, then something is slowing you down (possible clash between disk firmware and the Areca, or unfortunate choice of strip chunk size).

Cheers

Mark
