I go for simplicity. Something non-conductive that spreads easily. I used to use the diamond too, but its so hard to work with. MX-4 it and forget it.

A friend of mine is saying that with a 4R0 that the CPU is going very high with 4K testing, and that having a number of drives in R0 is creating a lower OC ceiling...he cant hit very high with the...
I agree, I just use a low powered rig for everyday use lately anyway, my 3930K is only for heavy lifting. I have so many rigs running in my small office that when I get testing it gets HOT even with...
Jesus that 4K QD1 random scaling is just screaming, I know what I need to buy right now!
That 4K write is pretty impressive at QD1, and the write acc time too :)
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the fact that these Arecas feature the ROC is probably pretty relevant. I haven't read the thread, but im sure this is a good place to read.

Wicked, man I wish I could get consumer gear....gonna miss this whole generation :(
Awesome news Zaxx, where did you find that out? Can you shoot us a link?
so very sexy :) We have a 12Gb/s HBA, but no RAID controller yet, still a few months out :(
Its pre-Computex time so I am slammed with work, but once I can get out from under this mountain of work I will get on it. We do have a neat new array for testing that just came in that should more...
Azzitude, I think maybe you are taking things in the wrong context. I dont really see any 'haters' coming out of the woodwork and flaming you, though an overreaction like this might bring them out. ...
FancyCache is nice, but personally I am very careful about using RAM caching for my personal stuff. Any power loss and you can lose data. I have really started to focus on reliability for my personal...
We have all seen ram caching before :) (look at the access time in anvil on the 4K .005 =RAM)
Typically we've seen some big bulky expanders that require heat sinks in the past with the Areca's, so the lack of any large hardware on there surprised me. There are two small Marvell chips to the...
Well surprisingly enough it is a Marvell. Here is the datasheet:

There was a thermal pad instead of...
Whatever it is I want to play with it :)

Lets find out :) this has me intrigued!
without the SAS/SATA conversion that should be blazing fast.
Awesome find Nizzen!
Which SSD?
low power goodness :)
What type of SSDs are you using? do you have a BBU and it is in a learning cycle? how large is your hot dataset, and how repetitive is the workload? it might require extra time for cache priming.
I actually just picked up a new 3570K the other day for regular use on the egg...now i am intrigued! Can you list the batch #?
Worth every penny!
The Arecas just own with cache...i wonder sometimes if there isnt also some use of the cache for the RAID code...because even with a larger test file they are faasstttteeerr...
Thanks Nizzen :)
