This is a test of storage system performance, and you left out the
storage array specs?  By doing so it seems you're stating the underlying
storage is not relevant to the results.

So, are you saying I should be able to duplicate your results with that
dual Opty system, but using an md RAID0 stripe over 8x2TB SATA disks
connected to two $60 4 port SiI 3124 PCIe x1 cards?
