If you are trying to imply that RAID6 can't go fast when write size is 
larger than the cache, you are simply wrong. Even with just a 8 x RAID6, 
I've tested a system as sustained sequential (not burst) 156Mbytes/s out 
and 387 Mbytes/s in using 7200 rpm 1.5 TB drives. Bonnie++ results 
attached. Bonnie++ by default uses twice as much data as your available 
RAM to make sure you aren't just seeing cache. IOW: That machine only 
had 4GB of RAM and 256 MB of controller cache during the test but wrote 
and read 8 GB of data for the tests.
