I plan to test the different configurations.

however, if I was saturating the bus with the reconstruct how can I fire off a dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test and get ~45M/sec whild only slowing the reconstruct to ~4M/sec?

I'm putting 10x as much data through the bus at that point, it would seem to proove that it's not the bus that's saturated.

I am unconvinced. If you take ~1MB/s for each active drive, add in SCSI overhead, 45M/sec seems reasonable. Have you look at a running iostat while all this is going on? Try it out- add up the kb/s from each drive and see how close you are to your maximum theoretical IO.

Also, how's your CPU utilization?
