New LSI 9200 series controllers: 6Gb/s, 2.88 GB/s seq. reads, 1.87 GB/s seq. writes

[Computurd]

Eight Vertex 30 Gb
One LSI-9260-8i
BOOTUP profile i/o meter





Several other mixed in there

This thing beats the PANTS OFF of my areca 1680-ix....hands down.
ALSO all this fuss about the 1231 Card? Cmon how in the world can you really expect to compare a card headed into the past, with a card headed into the future? Especially when it costs more?????
The LSI cards first firmware revision increased small file transfer 20 percent, and more releases of the firmware will be coming shorty. Areca will probably come with something better, at a price twice to three times as much, in Q2 next year, until then, imo this is the card to beat!

Napalm...

Real-world benches are cool and all, but you really can't post a video like that and say "OMG MY LAST-GEN CARD >>>> NEXT GEN CARDS BECAUSE MY CUSTOM APPLICATION THAT IS HEAVILY CPU AND SSD DEPENDANT DID GUD!!1".

Yeah, you went fast. Zoomjmygodwafflehouse! But how the hell do we test against that? To properly compare cards we would have to find the same quantity of the same non-cheap SSD's and run the exact same test on the exact same hardware, because otherwise we're comparing apples to oranges. Clearly, that's not going to happen.

This is just like when you used to post some (I want to say video encoding) times and said it proved how great your array was compared to anyone elses. You straight-up challenged me on it in one thread, despite the fact that your processor was around 2x as fast as mine and the test was heavily CPU dependant.

Real-world perforamance is great. Don't get me wrong about that. But FFS either make a repeatable test that is provably not CPU constrained and release it for general use or STFU. Is it really so hard for you to believe that new hardware released after lots of time spent on R&D by a company much larger than Areca could outperform your magic hardware?

I'm not really convinced Areca will release any new stuff anytime soon. I have no hard data to back that up as it's just a feeling, but something inside me tells me it may be a couple of years really...

Areca is not the holdup on new cards - it's Intel. Areca does not make it's own RAID chips, they use Intel's. And if you think Intel is developing SATA 3 SSD's and not working on a next-gen RAID chip you're bonkers.
