For the record, better results can be seen.  In my test I put 3 Seagate
Barracuda XT drives in a port multiplier and connected that to one port
of a PCIe 3124 card.

The MIRROR case is at about the I/O bandwidth limit of those drives.

[root@kraken ~]# zpool create tmpx ada{2,3,4}

4096+0 records out
