I installed 5 1.5TB (5900 RPM) drives, upgraded the memory to 8GB, and

A few simple tests using "dd" with 1gb and 2gb files showed excellent
transfer rates: ~200 MB/sec on a 5 drive raidz2 pool, ~310 MB/sec on a
five drive pool with no redundancy.
No redundancy? What does "zpool status" report?
Sorry, I am not near the machine to try it.
What I meant by "no redundancy? is this:
I partitioned the 5 disks identically -
(a) A 40GB boot partition, (used only in the boot disk, planning to
mirror it later)
(b) A 200Gb "fast" partition
(c) Two equal size "safe" partitions filling the rest of the disk
(~600Gb each?)
Then, (the disks are on c7t0/1/2/3/5, c7t4 is an esata port)
# 1Tb fast pool for temporary storage, "work in progress", etc
zpool create ${props} fast2 c7t0d0p2 ... c7t5d0p2
zpool create ${props} safe3 raidz2 c7t0d0p3 ... c7t5d0p3
zpool create ${props} safe4 raidz2 c7t0d0p4 ... c7t5d0p4
Where "props" contains my chosen property defaults: -O utf8only=on -O
mountpoint=none -O atime=off -O encryption=on ... etc.
