Hi! I am currently testing 3ware raid cards. Now i have 15 disks, and on these a swraid0. The write speed seems good (700 MBps), but the read performance only 350 MBps. Another problem when i try to read with two process, then the _sum_ of the read speeds fall back to 200 MBps. So there is a bottleneck, or something i need to know, but i dont have ideas.
