Interesting.  A client of ours has a SATABeast with 40 1TB drives in a 4U
chassis that is experiencing exactly this problem.  And fairly low
performance when the array is accessed via NFS (NFS server being Linux,
connected via FC to the array), unless async is turned on.

I haven't used any of the Promise arrays.  We have one client with some
that they absolutely love, another who absolutely hates them.
