well I'm using a larger size stripe than you are.. I'm adding 2 500GB drives at the moment and expanding the array will take about 12 hoursQuote:

32MB total length in atto.
256MB total length in atto and transfer size up to 8192K. this is very interesting difference between 32MB and 256MB.
ATTO is easily fooled by cache, run some winbench99 and things will definetly change.
I dont think anyone likes to use it cause it takes longer (aka alot more accurate):rolleyes:
tnx! updated to v1.41, noticeable improvement (not just cause of the benchmarks) over 1.40.. though i still cant disable TCQ/NCQ without losing 3/4 performance..Quote:

Upgraded the firmware on all 4 drives with the latest ones from seagate and it gave me a little boost :D

Delirious, can you re-reun the last ATTO test with "neither" checked so we can compare apples to apples.

Thanks for the links. Maybe after ive finished upgrading my cooling and ive switched to conroe ill move to a 4x spinpoint 250 raid5 array (or whatever is the quietest HD at the time)... id have to replace the stock cooler on the areca 1210 though.
Add a chipset wb to it ;)Quote:

Why replace it, its very quiet, and it comes with a larger ones thats supposed to be passive, so i put that one on it and added the fan to it.
The mounting holes on it are in wierd spots so you would definetly have to fashion your own mounting hardware.
Thats why they have credit cards with 0% apr :p:Quote:

Cluster size is usually set in the BIOS of the RAID controllerQuote:
