Owing to time restraints, we limited the capacity of the RAID array to 25 GB. Tests on total capacities of up to 400 GB would have taken much longer and would not have produced a different result. All the low-level measurements (IOMeter, HDTach) are only run without partitions anyway and refer to the total capacity of the RAID array.
