IME the size of the disk makes no huge difference when using A5200. How many E4500 are connected to it? Is it a switched environment? I once worked with 4 E3500 connected to 2 (mirrored) A5200. The performance was very, very bad (extremly high I/O wait up to 90 percent). If you look in my trash can you can find the A5200s.
