FWIW those are pretty terrible numbers for fifteen 15k rpm drives. They're about what you would expect if for a PCI-X card which was bus bandwidth limited. A PCI-e card should be able to get about 3x that from the drives. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's RemoteDBA services! -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
