I was working on a something in VirtualBox mounting the disk via the built in iSCSI Initiator with the backing store on our COMSTAR / Open Storage / iSCSI Target on OpenSolaris and couldn't get above about 5k/second for disk writes.  Trying to install windows was going to take multiple days at this pace..
