Update.
Server 2003 x86_32, 4disks raid5 64kstripe, latest drivers+firmware.

HDTach :



ATTO :



Curiously, ATTO is giving the kind of results i expected. Anyone got any idea what's going on with the HDTach results?
I'd like to try testing with a ramdisk, anyone able to reccomend a free one?

Nice Clunk - is that 6 and 7 320gb 7200rpm drives there?

Yes, 6x 320gb sata 2 in RAID 5.

I think i've got a clue, theres reports of the firmware of the seagate drives themselves being dodgy when it comes to RAID. I have firmware 3.AAK - anyone got the flash files for going either back or forwards to a revision which doen't give me half the potential performance?

has this still got anything to do with SAS?
