Yeah, I'm going to schedule that for this week. I think it got built like that due to a difference in the chassis - the old box had an even split of 5 slots on each channel. For some reason this box has 8 slots on channel 1, and just 3 on channel 2, so whoever put the box together put one system disk on each side and then just shoved all 6 data disks in the other channel. I'll post back to the list after the rebuild with the results of running the tests again, but meantime if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.
