[Gllug] Drive array speed

[A J Chapman]

We've got a few boxes at work each with a Compaq Smart Array 5i
controller and 3 10000rpm scsi drives in a raid 5 array. Copying large
files happens at around 2.2MB/s (thats bytes, not bits) locally, twice
that over the network between similar machines. Thats on windows, but I
figure it shouldn't make much difference to my question: does this seem
slow? Does anyone know what sort of performance I should expect from
this setup?
