Most drives after a certain vintage can do above 10mb/sec sustained;
any drive one buys nowadays which is SCSI and 7200rpm will easily do
15.  The other half of the issue is that a slow bus will destroy a
large part of the advantage of the diskcache, because you're reading
data into the cache faster than it can empty onto the CPU.
