Ah the world of the competitive market, looking at AVRORAID's site, I dont even see a Forum or a Blog... and when I look at there Hardware Compatibility List it is very limited where we have over 850 products that we support. I first tried to go to there support and looks limited - take a look at this link and compare. Keep in mind we are a unified file and block storage management operating system so we will have more feature sets and RAID sets as well.

I would recommend to use the Full version of the DSS V6 and make sure the RAID controller has the Write Back settings enabled, also the links below.
Read this concerning the tests we did w/ a FC Volume created on DSS V6 with FC HBA dual 4Gb and MPIO and the results where 772 MB/sec, so w/ one FC port it will be less due to the MPIO but still you should be getting better results - follow this article that will show how to setup the IOmeter.

If you are testing the full version send in a request at: Pre-sales (at) Open-E (dot) com and we will look at the logs but please look at the links first.
