Thanks for posting these tests.  Now I have actual numbers to beat our 
storage server provider about the head and shoulders with.  Also, I 
found them interesting in and of themselves.

These numbers are close enough to bus-saturation rates that I'd strongly 
advise new people setting up systems to go this route over spending 
money on some fancy storage area network solution- unless you need more 
HD space than fits nicely in one of these raids.  If reliability is a 
concern, buy 2 servers and implement Sloni for failover.
