exactly what i say. it's like RAID3. Not RAID5 which have close to n times 
single drive throughput on read and rougly n/4 on writes.

why write performance is so slow? in Sun theory it should have the same 
speed as reads. I would say that it should be even better a bit - 
filesystem get data first in cache and can plan ahead.

random read on how big chunks?

Are you sure you get 3GB/s on read? it would mean each drive must be able 
to do 140MB/s

What disks do you use?
