1 Gb Ethernet / iSCSI -> 17200 Random IOPS with RAID10
1 Gb Ethernet / iSCSI -> 9400 Random IOPS with RAID5
1 Gb Ethernet / iSCSI -> 5600 Random IOPS with RAID6

because they give you typically 100-300 IOPS per disk which you
refused over a complete thread believing you localSATA is the best
thing whichs exists

and yes, the dedicated storage-controllers and caches of a SAN storage
are what is outperforming you at real load
