comment What can I add to a server to make SQL restores faster?
Certainly your suffering unduly from having the backups on the drive you're restoring too. How many disks in your current RAID5?

comment What can I add to a server to make SQL restores faster?
@SeanLong Mark's suggestion is probably the best option for your scenario. What I think you're misunderstanding is when and what you take the snapshot of. The plan on a test server would be to restore the test database from your live backup, then snapshot the test database, run your test cycle, then revert the snapshot, rinse & repeat. Periodically you can return to step 1 and restore the live backup to test again.

comment How to take partitions or filegroups out of service
What's the thinking/motivation behind taking older partitions offline? There's a number of things not possible or not advisable with your approach but understanding why you want this would lead to better answers.

comment What throughput should I expect with MPIO?
@MrDenny Last comment on the matter, I promise. Craig Freedman on sequential read-ahead... SQL Server tries to combine up to 32 contiguous pages (256 Kbytes) into a single (asynchronous) I/O. So, in a best case scenario, it can read ahead 500 pages in just 16 I/Os. However, if the pages in the table are not contiguous (e.g., due to fragmentation), SQL Server cannot combine the I/Os and must issue one I/O per page (8 Kbytes)
