Hi !

Sorry, for my late answer. I was unavailable for a few days...

Yes, I'm using the build-in HP Smart Array Controller. Both, the
internal disks, and the external storrage are using the controller.

Can you send me your test results? I'm interested in it.

I've done some testing now. I've imported the data again and tuned the
DB like I was told in some performance howtos. Now, the database has a
good performance - until it has to read from the disks. 

Greetings Ernst
