Hi Peter,

I recently built a 3 drive RAID5 using the onboard SATA controllers on 
an MCP55 based board and get around 115MB/s write and 141MB/s read.

A fourth drive was added some time later and after growing the array and 
filesystem (XFS), saw 160MB/s write and 178MB/s read, with the array 60% 
full.

Regards,

Richard
