Not really something I've dealt with but here's some thoughts.
Have you tried just having a loop that uses File.Copy - this is likely to be quicker than Explorer copying.
Would using XCopy from the shell do the job?
Would using CopyFileEx in the Win32 API improve things - I've found that sometimes using the Win32 API has improved performance.
Multiple threads may be faster but I don't think one per file would help. Especially if there is a large number of files. Only one thread per processor can be running at any time. So you just end up with a large queue of threads - that costs in terms of thread scheduling.
There's more than one level of RAID - some of them don't improve IO performance. What level is actually implemented? It may be that the disk controller proves to be a bottleneck.

When performance has been an issue I've found the only sure way to improve it is by profiling the app - guesses as to where the delays are often turn out wrong. Smile | :)
