I think right now on Raid5, sataII, i'm getting a write speed of 57 MB/

bypass the windows cache this becomes more like 38 MB/s..
Aren't these numbers reversed? Anyway, good drives should be 75
MB/second when the cache is bypassed. Not bypassing it should give
significantly greater performance.
With a reasonable buffer (not cache) implementation, yes. Something
seems wrong or MS screwed up rather badly in implementing this.
But the 75MB/s figure only applies to the start of the disk.
At the end it is typically is somewere in the 35...50MB/s range,
since the cylinders contain less sectors.

Apologies.. Yeah when bypassing the cache I got an index of 57MB/s...
