Typical? No, but between two computers on the same network, using software
RAID-5, I got an average of about ~30MB/s. Not too great, but one machine
was old, had IDE disks, and the like.

A back-of-the-envelope shows that around 110MB/s is the max, but that is
optimistic. For my cheap equipment, I'm satisfied.
