Do a test of "dd if=/dev/sdb4 of=/dev/null bs=64k" on 1 then 2 and the 3
disks while watching "vmstat 1" and see how it scales.
Start with 1, then 2, then 3. Then back to 2, then back to 1. Then done.

That is a good built-in controller then, the scaling is almost perfect,
predicted would be 74, 158, 222 vs. 74, 154, 205.
