What sort of RAID Peter? Software RAID like you find on PC motherboards is not fast. For speed you need a RAID card. If your RAID is on NAS it will never be as fast as if it was internal. Also RAID-5 (the norm for 3 disk configs) is slower than other formats. RAID-10 is the fastest but you need 4 disks to get speed and redundancy.
