Your 2-disk results look fine - what about your 8-disk results?
Given that you want to run in production with RAID10, the most you should
expect is 2x the 2-disk results using all 8 of your disks. If you want the
best rate for production while preserving data integrity, I recommend
running your Areca in RAID5, in which case you should expect 3.5x your
2-disk results (7 drives). You can assume you'll get that if you use XFS +
readahead. OTOH - I'd like to see your test results anyway :-)
