Yes, so is that just down to the 7200 spin speed?


No, even with 7200rpm drives (assuming modern ones), the basic RAID5 should be giving 50-70MBytes/sec. The GigE is capable of a raw 100MBytes/sec or so, but some protocols drag that down do around 45-50MBytes/sec.

You're not seeing anything close to those speeds.
