[geeks] Looking for options to increase IOPS (Storage)

[Ben Greisler]

Can you add more disks to your existing array? I wasn't sure from your  
description whether the existing RAID5 is in the 4x cage or if you  
have the 4x cage also available. If you add more spindles to your  
RAID5 you should get better performance for not a lot of bucks. If  
your existing drives are in that 4x cage, you need another cage. DO  
you have additional SATA ports open?
