Hi Richie,
zaxen01:
Seagate ST31000340AS 1GB HDD,
and zaxen02:
root@zaxen02:[~]$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: ATA      Model: ST3250318AS      Rev: HP11
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 05

These drives are setup in software RAID1
Some more testing:
zaxen01, with 1x SATAII HDD, 8GB RAM, Core2Quad CPU, Intel Server
grade motherboard:
root@zaxen01:[~]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=filename bs=1024 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 12.2736 seconds, 83.4 MB/s
zaxen02, with 2x SATAII HDD setup in software RAID1, 8GB RAM,
Core2Quad CPU, SuperMicro Server grade motherboard:
root@zaxen02:[~]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=filename bs=1024 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out

Inhouse server, with 2x SATAII HDD in software RAID1, 2GB RAM,
Core2Duo CPU, using Gigabyte motherboard:
[root@intranet ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=filename bs=1024 count=1000000
