This machine... if you run it in raid 5 will only get 7-9 megabytes a

If you run it in RAID 10 you get a more reasonable 50-55 megabytes per
second.
I don't have it sitting in front of me or I would give you an exact
model number.
This machine also uses the serverworks chipset which is known to be a
catastrophe.
I'd be more shocked if this weren't also true of nearly all SCSI HW RAID
adapters of this era. If you had ordered an HP DL380 server you'd get about
the same performance.
BTW - I don't think there's anything reasonable about 50-55 MB/s from 6
disks, I'd put the minimum for this era machine at 5 x 30 = 150MB/s.
