Areca 1882ix-12 4G

[Computurd]

Quite possibly the sexiest RAID controller Ive ever touched

note the ver 3.0 tag...

[ehorn]

That is quite a sharp looking piece of gear.

(12) 6Gb drives is a nice fit for PCIe 3.0... Sweet spot for X8 too.

Any plans for a review?

[Computurd]

of course, but only after some Xtreme benching at the Flash Memory Summit, we have some exciting stuff planned!

[Kain665]

TT has a booth?

[Computurd]

oh no, we are going to be there but there is some extracurricular benching with LN2 and a few (maybe 4?) RAID controllers. We have 3 1880s with 4Gb of cache and teh 1882ix-12 and a whole stack of SSDs. Are you going to be in the area? this is gonna be sweeettt... we plan on doing some PCMV benching

[mike]

looks so sweet!!! Shold be a fun new toy to play with

[Kain665]

Yes I will be. I'll try to make it by

[Highendtoys]

I hit the 1882i v3 the other day if anyone cares. It's in the consumer format. you'll have to wait till Paul gets his hand on it for the enterprise stuff.

Sounds like some good fun.

Always interested...

[Kain665]

I am looking forward hanging out and do some clocking!!! Going to be in Santa Clara Monday night Jake is going to be bringing some serious toys by to play with!!!

I'm not drinking LN2 again..

There should be plenty of soda as well, in case you get thirsty !!!

[mike]

on the road to Santa Clara - just cruising thru Death Valley, should hit Yosemite in the early morning...car full of gear and some LN2...Fugger snucked in the car too...should get there by 10am

[Kain665]

I'll be at our booth from 5:30 to 7:30, if any of you people want to stop by.

Benching the Areca 1882 together with the new Corsair Neutron GTX SSDs - running PCmark Vantage; incredible combo!!! So snappy fast!

Here is a result all on air:

I think those once r pcie 2 and not the newer ver. 3 but I will have to check with him

Thanks

Henrik

[Highendtoys]

You are going to have to tell him to look at the actual sticker on the controller. If it says Ver. 3 then it is the new PCIe 3.0. In my enthusiast review of the ARC-1882i it shows a close up of the sticker.

[tived]

Thanks for that info.

One more question - would it be better to have two controllers over one, sat 2 x 16ch vs 1 x 24ch ?

I need three arrays on my system, OS - Scratch - Storage

On my EVGA SR-2

Thanks

Henrik

[Highendtoys]

SR-2 with controller, LOL

I sold off my SR-2 because I couldn't get a controller to work with it. It was at least a year ago and a half ago but it ticked me off.

We know that something better is coming very soon and I think it will be better for you than the options listed. We can't talk about it but something really cool and fast is on the way.

[Computurd]

yes something new is coming

[tived]

Guys, this is not fair, its like climbing a mountain just to get this build and to find that a new mountain has been discovered and needs climbing

I will have to stay with my SR-2 for a few more years

You guys are such teasers

Henrik

PS: Already committed to the Areca 1882 its in transit

[Buckeye]

Yeah that is a very nice looking card. About time they put coolers on these.
