To estimate the maximum TPS or IOPS of a RAID array you can use the following formula.

TPS = (NUMBER_DISKS * IOPS_PER_DISK) / (READ_PERCENT + (WRITE_PERCENT * RAID_FACTOR))

An alternate formula to estimate IOPS or TPS of a RAID array:

TPS = NUMBER_DISKS * IOPS_PER_DISK * (R + W) / R + (W * RAID_FACTOR)

The RAID_FACTOR is 1 for RAID0 or no RAID, 2 for RAID10, and 4 for RAID5.

Calculating the IOPS_PER_DISK is complicated, but for rough estimates you can use the following table

rotational speed: IOPS
5400	 RPM: 80
7200	 RPM: 100
10000 RPM: 150
15000 RPM: 200
