In theory, they vary from ~55MB/sec to ~100MB/sec across the platters during linear operations, but RAID-5 does add overhead. The Adaptec card I would expect to be able to extract full performance from each drive on their own, but I have no idea Have you tried any benchmarks on the array both with and without DRBD to see what the native performance actually is? Preferably you'd test using striping and mirroring too so you get a feel for how much of an impact raid-5 is.
