I would have thought the average read for the Raid-5 would have been higher than the Riad-0. Interesting.

Nice numbers though! Wonder what you would have gotten with 150G raptors..

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but these results are frustrating without a single drive used for reference testing in the same set-up. Please post those if you can so we have a frame of reference. Thanks.

Although RAID 5 isn't nearly as handicapped in terms of read performance as write speed, 4 drives in a RAID 0 will destroy it. RAID 5 as all kinds of parity over-head that RAID 0 doesn't have to deal with.
