Hi guys,
been playing around with my new toy, the Areca 1882ix 4GB cache & BBU with 8x Intel 520 120GB and 8x Samsung 830.
Trying to work out what will give me the best performance but i don't think i am getting there atleast i am no where near what i see Computurd do, the master himself. I had expectations of reaching well into 3GB/s with either 8 disks but i have only reached that with the Intel using ATTO
from memory this is RAID-0 default settings on the Areca 1882ix
but that's not so when i run ASU
pass-through and stripped in Windows 7 x64 pro
what i seem to find is that the read's are plateau'ing out at around 2.6GB/s i don't know if that is a limitation of my PCIe x8 and my chipset on the EVGA SR-2, i remember ACE-NZ had some problems a few years ago. Am I not using the right drivers or is this just the best i can do??
Now, just for fun, i thought that i would make two stripe sets with each brand and then stripe them in windows.... but MIXING IT UP isn't doing me any favors unfortunately
here i created the two 8R0 on the controller and then stripped them in Windows
Someone suggested to me that i should use my two IBM M1015 fill them with SSD's and create a stripe set on each and then stripe them in Windows RAID-00 across two controllers, but currently i have one in use in another box where I am trying to recover an OLD WD ShareSpace (guys don't ever waste your money on that! WD SS)
well thats it guys, that was my saturdays night fun ;-)
