These are pictures of my a single Raptor and a Dual Raptor (RAID-0 obviously).

4 Raptors in RAID-0 benchmark should be posted by the end of this week, I hope.

scsi rock once you have sampled them there is no going back, its not just the raw speed but the tasty access times and the 2 % cpu usage and not 10% plus of normal drives :p

raptor ha :rolleyes:
enjoy this was on a pci card too (the bottleneck :mad: )

I have a raid 0 setup of fuj's Mau's IMHO fastest real world scsi drive.
Atlas II have a lower average speed and only just beat the mau's by 3mbs at the sharp point but loose out every were else.

come on Acid, raptor is scsi in sata clothing.. besides, we never had decent/proper cards for ide/sata until finally Areca/pci-e.. if scsi wont be updated accordingly sata will surpass it big

do you realize your comparing 4 hdds to one? right?

scsi is faster than raptors. no doubt.

show me a 15k raptor.:rolleyes: oh wait....:p:

Oh ya, a nice SCSI 15K drive + cute U320 Cables + adapters to 68 pin + terminators cost about the same as 4*320GB 7200.10s.

:)

If you are not running a huge database or webserver you will not know the difference.

yup, the more drives the higher the access time.. sorry i didnt explain wat exactly i was comparing.. look at Acid's random access vs mine

i will do 1 vs 1, maybe sometime today if i get a chance..

eventually 15K raptors are coming.. :)

awesome, i was wrong! number of drives ~4 hdd, has no effect on random access (i guess the Areca controller doing its job!), just GBs and RPM.

1x raptor @ 37GB

1x raptor @ 7GB
http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/387/untitled2tr2.jpg

not bad for 10K raptor vs 15K scsi

Acid, WeStSiDePLaYa + everyone else posting hard drive benchs, thank u guys! im figuring out ways of improving my arrays, yay! :D

This is Xtreme systems not Xtreme value for money and you left out the price for the control card too :D

If you are not running a huge database or webserver you will not know the difference.

The Mau line and Atlas II line of drives are made for single user enviroments not server multi user ones, if you have a raptor you know how much faster they FEEL over other sata ide drives, due to the lower responce time, its the same thing with high end scsi drives

i will do 1 vs 1, maybe sometime today if i get a chance..

eventually 15K raptors are coming.. :)

I hope so too

Looks like so far I have the fastest access time :woot:

The sad thing is is this setup is gone in 2 days for a 150 GB Raptor. My X-FI will not play nice with my SCSI setup (the worst crackling you ever heard), so I decided to sell the SCSI for a Raptor. Rest of system is in Sig.

#69, Thank you :) Im waiting for my BBU so I can play a little with the cache on this controller. The performance should improve quite some, atleast that whats Intel claimes.. but wouldnt we if we charged ~ $400 for a stick of 256mb ddr2 with a tiny battery at the back ?

#70 nice one, and your right... most of us cant keep up with that cpu usage :p:

interesting that your scsi drives are seen by this program. my 29160n isnt seen :(

also, that's way too much for a bbu, for that price, just grab a normal ddr2 stick and run it without the write option thar requires the battery. buffered writes is the name of it iirc.
