You will get 2 parallel sequential reads at around 120MB/sec assuming you're not bus limited. To clarify because this looks ambiguous to me now, you should be able to perform 2 parallel sequential reads both at 60MB/sec = 120MB/sec total. -ryan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

Yea, SeaTools Enterprise says it uses the sg devices and it's for SCSI disks. It looks like it runs tests similar to that that are triggered by the -t option in 'smartctl'. Hmm..I tried running the extended test (using smartctl). It completed that okay and now says it's reallocated 137 sectors

Think about it and it should make sense. You have two discs with identical layouts. How could you possibly increase the speed of a single sequential read? You can't just read half from one drive, half from the other, you'd always have heads seeking and it would no longer be a sequential
