The disks are 18GB, 7200 rpm, ultra fast/wide scsi disks. I am really not sure about the cache. So what is the consensus now? Let's just stick to RAID 0 - should I see more when going multithreaded or should I not be worried that the transfer rates are dropping off? Note that the rates drop off even if I am only running a 2 disk RAID 0 i.e. my bus is not being maxed out then.
