Well, it depends on your stripe width - generally it would be true
only if your strip with would be of 16KB, If you set-up 128KB stripe
width you would end-up with one or two IO/s to one or two disk drives
depending if your write was stripe aligned or not.
ZFS will make sure that every fs block is stripe aligned when doing
raid-0 like configuration (aka zfs dynamic striping). However it's not
true for raid-z{1|2}
