3xSATA, Seagate 320 ST3320620AS, Intel 6600, ICH7 controller using the
ata-piix driver, with drive cache set to write-back. It's not obvious to
me why that matters, but if it helps you see the problem I''m glad to
provide the info. I'm seeing ~50MB/s on the raw drive, and 3x that on
plain stripes, so I'm assuming that either the RAID-5 code is not
working well or I haven't set it up optimally.
