I guess you guys are lucky and I just have some shitty drives LOL
@Jacob Stay in the same building and switch to Joe's DC or WholeSale.
Better than the RAID ones or not? I have an HP drive and the other is an Hitachi one.
I have around the same speed, but it can be increased playing with the cache stuff.
Anyway, it feels snappy IMHO
So, probably this isn't a drive issue but a sucker raid controller
Look on the bright side, 40mb/s is 10mb/s faster than the cheap USB external I picked up at Walmart the other day. Still 20mb/s shy of the average quality 7200rpm 500GB I just put in my iMac...
and it is a SAS drive, although I don't even know what the hell it means, LOL
Can anyone link me to an update for the ilo2. I can not seem to find the .bin files needed for that updates anywhere.
@LiquidHost: I got mine from @jarland so thank him, but I also uploaded it to my devbox.
http://199.167.31.141/ilo2_177.bin
Also the ISO for the firmware update:
http://199.167.31.141/ROMPAQ.iso
I'll be taking them down sometime in a few days or so (I don't know if I can share them or not that's why). But its just for your convenience.
What would that ISO upgrade actually, isn't the bin for the ILO firmware upgrade?
Here is the donwload page:

ISO is bootable.
For some reason my firmware reverted to the older version after using @HalfEatenPie's file.
Current Firmware: 1.77 04/23/2009
@zhuanyi: The firmware I uploaded is 1.77 from 2009. If anyone has any earlier version or something then feel free to let me know.
I found ILO 2.09 at http://mirror.digitalone.com/hp/ilo2_209.bin
Thanks @ihatetonyy. I'll try that out later.
Anyone know if 2.09 works?
It works well for me. Seems to help iLO pages load slightly faster, but other than that not sure of any huge differences.

2.09 No need to go to weird mirrors
Weird mirror > self extracting exe on mac
I hate that I got a windows vps solely to toy with this stuff. Better for mounting large ISOs as well.
Besides for a test Windows Server I have, I also have a KVM with Windows.
Yeah. I'm so cool.
i think my iLO 2 was upgraded by Support
intially it was: iLO 2 Firmware Version: 1.50 03/12/2008
Now after installing Proxmox, i thought of updating iLO etc., on login i saw:
iLO 2 Firmware Version: 2.06 05/31/2011
now updated to:
iLO 2 Firmware Version: 2.09 04/11/2012
@Pats: maybe it was the iLO fairy spraying you with fairy dust?
The .scexe file can be executed in Linux =/
Oh, well, I didn't used the sucker web interface because it crashed like hell. Upgrading from console was much easier
So, I've just updated to the latest proxmox kernel.
I don't know if was the reboot or the kernel xD
But now I get 65-70MB/s in single drives
wow...
but where is bios fairy? 
Bios is A13 04/05/2007
have u guys updated the Bios? wat is the latest?
ok updated Bios.. A13 05/02/2011; backup system ROM: 04/05/2007
Thanks @yomero & @ihatetonny (any hints who's tony & why shud i hate him?)
But backup system ROM is still 04/05/2007 .. ??
The backup moved to the old bios, the 2009 one for me.
Me wants Datashack deal but they not got none left
u mean the ROMPAQ moved the 2009 to the backup automatically?
looks like i have to mount the backup bios on debian do the copy manually
notice any difference after upgrading the bios?
Yes, I had 2009 and 2007 in the backup. The upgrade moved me to 2011(2010?) primary and 2009 to the backup
Sorry, wtf I just wrote xD
No
Who thinks I should get the Phenom deal @ $49 tomorrow?
