I did a test and this is the output:

server# dd of=/dev/null bs=128k count=1000 if=/dev/da0
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
131072000 bytes transferred in 8.085032 secs (16211686 bytes/sec)

Which is around 16MB/s. I'm using it as a backup device so it should
complete my backups around 16 times faster now :-)

Thanks for all your help,
Anthony
