I think about 160 minutes is reasonable for 750GB, on an otherwise

I have a similar setup with 4 750G SATA drives. The box is
failry beefy, with 8 processor cores and a PCI-E SATA controler
(3Ware 9650SE). For an initial sync, it will take about 315
minutes to complete.
I'm not sure if this is a fair comparison, since Rainer was do a
resync.

I'm probably splitting hairs at this point.

Just to add another data point, I replaced a dead 750GB drive in 4 x 750
md RAID5 last week and it took 145 minutes.
Resync on another 16 x 750GB md RAID6 takes around 180min.
