Actually they can. Datafile size was 8G, machine had 2G RAM (i.e.
datafile 4 times memory). The test was for a sequential read with 8K
blocks. I believe this is precisely the type of test that the previous
posters were referring to - while clearly, its not a real-world measure,
we are comparing like to like, and as such terrible results on such a
simple test are indicative of something 'not right'.

P.s. FWIW - I'm quoting a test from a few years ago - the (same) machine
now has 4 RAID0 ata disks and does 175MB/s on the same test....
