It sounds like you have a lot of hardware around - my guess it would be
worthwhile to do a test setup with one server hooked up with two 3ware
controllers. Also, I am not sure if it is wise to put the WAL on the
same logical disk as the indexes, but that is maybe for a different
thread (unwise to mix random and sequential io and also the wal has
demands when it comes to write cache).
