Man delays and more delays.
Least I got some time still waiting til I get my copy of Win7 or jsut before it to have them so I can do a clean install on it.

It's not technically a delay if they are shipping the drives but selling out before everyone gets one. That's more of a lack of supply wouldn't you think?
Brace yourselves for TRIMday.... ooops I meant Tuesday...
2 X25-M G2 running raid 0 aligned 128k stripe on LSI 9260-8i

Not quite sure about the low 4K and 4K 64 scores here but sequential looks fine and access times (for an LSI card) are pretty good...
Hopefully a firmware update will speed up the 4k side of things but I don't mind atm as the G2's are not OS they are a gamedrive :)
Oh?... guess all those TRIM worshipers will finally see if they've over hyped it or not. If not, then we all win.Quote:

Something looks wrong with that benchmark. Your 4k and 4k-6k results are worse than a single g2 and your read access time is really high :confused:Quote:

Those things are incredibly fast in Raid0, although Access reading times seem high
Hmm, your 4k-6k results seem right out as well :confused:Quote:

Not sure what is going on with the 4K though :D
Probably raid card firmwre...
Are you using AHCI or non member RAID? IDE mode is slow for Intel drives.Quote:

There have been consistent rumours that intel limited the speed of the M version, so it will be interesting to see if TRIM and competitor improvements mean they take the brake off.Quote:

w/ Areca's they don't :shrug:Quote:

Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2C1 2.5" 80GB

They do lowfat, its just that the Areca cards have the lowest latency of the lot ;)Quote:

Out of stock at newegg, but mwave has some.

talk about price gouging. I'll wait.
Don't really want to mash my drives with IOmeter + a 10GB test file right now, sorry ;)Quote:

Next my run with the same array on the LSI 9260-8i:

Looking at the results you can see that sequential writes suffer using onboard but seq reads are still very good and both random reads and writes are much improved...
As for access times, well, you can see the SAS overheads at play right there :)
Both arrays were running on my sigged system with 128k stripe and 64k offset.
Thoughts: Could one of you nice manufacturers get out a PCI-e 2.0 8x SATA only RAID card asap please :D
Seams like LSI and Intel's G2 are not understanding each other quite yet, wait for Firmware update.Quote:
