Any ideas as to what leads to ext3's performance hit? I've tested *lots* of configurations. It's not the md layer -- 1 card setups see the same performance hit.
No idea, but I suffer the same problem with a 9550SX-4 with SATA3 drives. I don't think ext3 is the problem as dd gives much the same behaviour (you might want to try it). My reluctant conclusion is that the 9550SX is just dog slow, which is why the drives are currently sitting idle. I would love someone from 3ware to disprove this.
