I will go *way* out on a limb and make the following claim:
DEC have never produced a fast RA disk, with any setup.
It would be nice to see some counter-argument. The newer RA series
drives *should* not be so slow; their physical characteristics are OK
(unlike the RA81). Perhaps the problem is MSCP.
