I've done tests with 3 dd running simultaneously, reading data from 3 different parts of the disk, and I'm getting about 110 MB/s for each dd, so about 330 MB / s in total. This is with a Crucial M500 ssd, with both asm1053 and nec chipsets. > My ASM1051 based dock under W7 got an underwhelming maximum > of 42 MB/sec with such a SATA SSD.
