How much IO can we push to 5 SATA drives?

Disk IO/Sec

It was not a fun day, with a glitch on a fiber channel link causing corruption in an Exchange database. As a side effect of recovery we've stress tested the SAN a bit. Note this is captured at 12:45am local time (so general activity is lower). Plus we've removed non-essential load to keep performance up, and rebalanced some IO off the 5 SATA volumes back to FC. Apparently the pressure reports need more watching... At least these drives are SATA-II.

1.21 Gigaflops?
42?
3210?
(there are too many significant numbers to list them all in a comical manner unfortunately)
How are the disks holding up?

Well, I now have a screenshot where the lines for those 5 drives are about 20 IOPS higher (around 130). Still going...
