This does work OK provided that you don't hit the transfer limit on the SCSI
channel. If you have a fast SCSI and slow disks then striping can be beneficial.
Even an Ultra160 SCSI disk is unlikely to be sending 160MB/s continuously (it
has to seek at some time!) so, in theory, you should get some benefit.
My much maligned (and rightly so) striping graph shows that striping on my
interface works well for up to 3 disks on one fibre-channel.
Try it...!
