With performance like that, it sounds like you're saturating a bus
somewhere along the line. If you're using scsi, for instance, it's very
easy for a long chain of drives to overwhelm a channel. You might also
want to consider some other RAID layouts like 1+0 or 5+0 depending upon
your space vs. reliability needs.
