We've been testing ST RAID II (6Gb) with 10Gb and it's very fast. We're using 3Gb SATA drives on 6Gb SAS ports. There's a nifty feature that lets 6Gb SATA multiplex 2 3Gb drives.

The results are very good. We can sustain about 350MB/sec for each client out to about 4 clients (depending on the codec) off a single chassis.

I would like to stress that this type of load requires a lot of fairly aggressive tuning. The OS does not have enough of anything laying around by default.
