Troughput for data not in cache.

Hi,

Can someone can tell me what troughput I can expect from a CS300 from data that is not in mcache.

12x 3Tb nl-sad disk and 4x 300 Gb SSD.

Like if I do Archiving of data to an external server with DAS not Nimble attached like 200-300Gb or a user that do the complete restore of exchange mailbox 25gb that have not been read completly in the last 4 month or more. Surrely data will only read from disk only.

How does this will affect other Data read hits that is not hiting cache and the write from nvram and controler cache?

Thank you,
