The disks are 2TB near-line SAS direct attached via a PERC H700
controller (the Dell PowerEdge R515 has 12 3.5" drive bays). They are in
a RAID6 config, exported as a single volume, that's split into 3
equal-size partitions (due to ext4's (well, e2fsprogs') 16 TB limit).

Seeing an average of 740 MB/s write, 971 GB/s read.
