If the disks are on separate controllers, you can read and write them in parallel, yielding good performance (1x write, Nx read).
Why is it that I don't see this for a RAID-1 system? 2xSATA 160G disks: RAID 1: Write 20G file: 52.5 MB/sec Read 20G file: 63.6 MB/sec RAID 0: Write 20G file: 107 MB/sec Read 20G file: 105 MB/sec I would have expected the number 63.6 MB/sec to be higher.
