   Just to eliminate this misconception: U320 means 320MByte/s, not bit - 
remember that SCSI is a parallel bus (well apart from SAS, of course :-) ) 
and even the old, lowly SCSI-2 did 20 MByte/s :-) So YRW ('You Recalled 
Wrongly') to coin a new TLA.
   So to get back to the original poster's problem: Yes, 2 MB/s with peaks 
of 30 MB/s are dreadfully low; something is wrong. No idea as to what, 
though...
