Oops, forgot to mention - will check the storesave parameter tomorrow. What setting is recommended?

And, additionally, would you recommend setting cache on or off? On only with a BBU?

Storesave to perform and writecache on but both only with BBU.

What kind of read write performance did you get with your tests?

The 3ware knowledge base has some tips. For read performance specifically you will want to adjust the read ahead value. And I have found that if your VM is located on the raid set you will actually want to set the read ahead value inside of the vm as well.
