Cool. Next question I guess - what is the size of the volume (2 * ??) ? I ask that, as obviously if you create a new RAID 0 volume with minimal data and lots of free blocks, the storage controller wont have to traverse much to find blocks to store new data.
The more congested it gets, the longer it takes to find your data / write new data.
What was the size of the volume at original benchmark vs new benchmark, capacity wise?
