Well it very much depends upon your underlying hardware. For instance
3Ware RAID cards with default settings read very poorly, they even get
much slower in sequential read than sequential write.

So basically you have to provide much more detailed hardware setup :
storage hardware, attachment, number and type of drives, RAID level...
