Was the array busy when you did the test? 72-76 MB MB/s is very slow for
a 7-drive array in RAID-5. FreeBSD's disk IO can be sluggish but I doubt
it would get that slow. On a RAID10 array with 6 drives I can get ~~ 200
MB/s in both directions (though on a different controller). RAID5 is
basically striped so your setup should on average yield close to 6 times
the single drive performance, something in the area of 350 MB/s.
