Acard ANS-9010 DDR2 RAM-drive review

[Carlof2XOD]

if it's not difficult could you test the Acard in Single mode in order to see the efficiency of a per slot utilization. It's obviuos that a RAID0 would rule a single drive of similar performance (dual mode Acard vs Intel SSD I mean). But what about one by one?

Also I would like to see the card in SATA150 mode to see it's scalability (SATA150-SATA300-Dual SATA300-Quad? SATA300), so that thoughts can be done.
Found another test of it http://www.wideopenwest.com/~dcason6634/Acard.html
and on Techreport: http://techreport.com/articles.x/16255 but their testing is a bit one-side.

I put together some benchmarks on my review:

Also, I have been playing with some charting stuff. I've compiled the data from around 800 hours of benchmarking my RAID and the Acard Ramdisk to create a customizable charting interface:

Here you can customize the chart to show the difference between 1.5 and 3.0 SATA.

Thanks for the review, any particular reason you choose ECC ram over non-ECC?

[Carlof2XOD]

It was the same price! On Newegg it was exactly the same price!

For a while the market was saturated with 2GB modules and they were all dirt cheap. That's actually the reason I bought the ramdisk at all.

When using ECC you get more space out of the ramdisk because it allocates space to do ECC emulation. This may also cost a tad in perormance. One way or another the unit is doing ECC.

@ Jor3lBR

Wenn you use 16GB-ECC-Ram a 16GB-CF-Card is to small.
Because 16GB-Ram are 16 GiB, but a 16GB-CF only 16 GB

I´m using Non-ECC-Rams from Kingston with ECC-Simulation.
ECC-Sim. eats ~ 1/6 of Ram.

I have been testing that unit for couple of days for now and I think, useing ECC ram instead of non-ECC is the main reason why his tests are the highest ones.
Disableing indexing service took CrystalD....seg reading down to 320MB/s (from 343MB/s) but helped a lot in 4k write speads (from 44MB/s to 82MB/s)

My tests are pretty good (looking reviews) but there is no way I'm gonna beat Chosen ones. Good one But I have couple of more ideas
