We've got an RM8000.  Performance is unremarkable at around 25MBps.  At
some point our system developed a problem where the box panics at boot
if the array is attached.  Shutting of the array during boot is a
workaround and we're about out of space on it so I'm not wasting much
time trying to find the problem.
