Hi Tejun,

I have made the following experimental observation on the
SIL-3132 <-> SIL-4726 writing speed.

I have 5 Seagate 750GB disks, each running at 3.0 Gbps
All have write-cache enabled.

I can write to 1 disk at 74MB/s

Writing to 2 disks simultaneously, the speed drops down to 37MB/s
per disk (sum is still 74MB/s)

Writing to 3 disks simultaneously, the speed drops down to 25MB/s
per disk, etc.

Any idea why each disk gets only a fraction of the bandwidth when
accessed simultaneously? The port multiplier ought to sustain 300MB/s


Thanks, Igor
