Ive got a server with a SATA-CERC-6CH raid card running 3 drives in RAID 5.

Here is the throughput results:

I beleive its a rebadged Adaptec controller. Unfortunately, I cant download the Adaptec Storage Manager software without an Adaptec TSID.

If I were to add more drives, would it make it faster? I dont want to replace the existing drives, but I am open to replacing the controller.

Anyone want to chime in as to where my bottleneck may be and how to fix it?
