There is another benchmark tool named iozone (http://www.iozone.org/).
Hope this help.

Further followup to this thread...
After being beaten sufficiently with a clue-bat, it was determined that
the nforce 750a could do ahci mode for it's SATA stuff.
I set it to ahci, and redid the devlinks etc and cranked it up as AHCI.
I'm now regularly peaking at 100MB/s, though spending most

Hey all -
Just spent quite some time trying to work out why my 2 disk mirrored ZFS
pool was running so slow, and found an interesting answer...
System: new Gigabyte M750sli-DS4, AMD 9550, 4GB memory and 2 X Seagate
500GB SATA-II 32mb cache disks.

NB: dd from /dev/zero is a poor benchmark. Since the writes to disk
are all zero, you may create a sparse file, or ZFS
It turns out that when you are in IDE compatability mode, having two
disks on the same 'controller' (c# in solaris) behaves just like real
IDE... Crap!
That is the second time I've seen solaris guess wrong and force what it thinks
is right. Solaris will also limit the size of an ATA drive if
