P.S. the ST31000640SS drives, together with the LSI SAS 3800x
controller (in a 64-bit 66MHz slot) gave me, using dd with
a block size of either 1024k or 16384k (1MB or 16MB) and a count
of 1024, a sustained read rate that worked out to a shade over 119MB/s,
even better than the nominal "sustained transfer rate" of 116MB/s documented
for the drives. Even at a miserly 7200 RPM, that was better than 2 1/2 times
faster than the internal 10,000 RPM 73GB FC/AL (2GB/s) drives, which impressed
the heck out of me.
