Howdy - I'm looking for some advice on the 3ware 9000 raid cards. I've just bought a 9500S-8, running it on 5.2.1 - raid 50 across 8 drives, and so far the transfer rates are extremely slow (<25MB/s). 3Ware support haven't given me a useful answer yet, so could you give me some advice as to how you've got your system configured?
