My google-fu fails me.  Any make/model, URLs, or keywords?

Hmmm, I must not have tested both disks at once before on the 3132:

One at a time:

   dd if=/dev/ad18 bs=1m count=1000 of=/dev/null
   1048576000 bytes transferred in 8.807009 secs (119061534 bytes/sec)

   dd if=/dev/ad20 bs=1m count=1000 of=/dev/null
   1048576000 bytes transferred in 8.800526 secs (119149243 bytes/sec)

Two at once:

   dd if=/dev/ad18 bs=1m count=1000 of=/dev/null & dd if=/dev/ad20 bs=1m count=1000 of=/dev/null
   1048576000 bytes transferred in 13.766050 secs (76171160 bytes/sec)
   1048576000 bytes transferred in 13.799268 secs (75987799 bytes/sec)

so 152 MB/s total rather than the expected ~238.  PCIe x1 slot is supposed to
be good for 250 MB/s, so it ought to be able to max out both disks at once,
or at least get close.
