I'd be more shocked if this weren't also true of nearly all SCSI HW RAID
adapters of this era. If you had ordered an HP DL380 server you'd get about
the same performance.
BTW - I don't think there's anything reasonable about 50-55 MB/s from 6
disks, I'd put the minimum for this era machine at 5 x 30 = 150MB/s.
