Each file sits on a single spindle, and there is a separate filesystem per spindle, so I think the parallel processing will work much better this way. This does mean double the disks to get data replication though. I did some testing of RAID6 mdraid (12 disks with with 1MB stripe size) and it sucked. However I need to re-test it now that I know about inode64. We do have a requirement for archival storage and that might use RAID6.
