RAID5 on a Compaq/HP DL380 G4 is nonsense; especially if you are about to perform a performance benchmark on IO!

Hardware specs were in the OPs initial question. And as a general "advice" by Oracle -go RAID5 young man, go RAID5- it was far too unqualified as well.
And as long as RAID5 arrays cannot sustain 40MByte/sec or better, I'll keep on saying: RAID5 is nonsense. I'm BAARF/SAME. :)
