Slow SQL on DL380 G5

[JacAnd]

I have a SQL 2005 server on a DL380 G5 there is running very slow.
When I run SQLIQ (http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9A8B005B-84E4-4F24-8D65-CB53442D9E19&displaylang=en) I get this:

sqlio v1.5.SG
1 thread reading for 30 secs from file testfile.dat
using 2KB IOs over 128KB stripes with 64 IOs per run
size of file testfile.dat needs to be: 8388608 bytes
current file size: 0 bytes
need to expand by: 8388608 bytes
expanding testfile.dat ... done.
initialization done
CUMULATIVE DATA:
throughput metrics:
IOs/sec: 1280.73
MBs/sec: 2.50

The disk is in raid 10 (4 10K) and with 2 disks on eats controller.
The P400/disk is running with the most recent firmware and SAS/SATA Controller Driver 6.10.0.32

When I run SQLIO on my dell 2850 server (raid 10) I get this:
sqlio v1.5.SG

I've been having similar feelings, however I spoke to some techs from HP and they said not to worry about sqlio too much. Sqlio was designed to run rather on stright hdd's, when you run it against advanced array controller it shows you junk. I ran it against XP12000, one of the fastest arrays around and got results worse than single SAS disk. But after I installed SQL server and ran some more serious tests, it shown real advantage.
