Please go to my original e-mail. I've ran two simultaneous tests and I get: hdparm -t /dev/md6 & hdparm -t /dev/md6 This is the result: --disk/hdg----disk/hde- _read write _read write 0 0 : 0 0 0 0 : 0 0 124k 0 :26.0M 0 368k 0 :45.5M 0 0 0 : 0 0 0 0 : 896k 0 124k 0 :1568k 0 0 0 : 0 0 One disk works with 75% of its full speed, the second one works with 0,6% of its full speed or even less.
