A SINGLE X-25 gives you 135 mbps in 4k 100 percent random??? i would like to see that screenie.
I already mentioned this before, but the ioxtreme (like the x25-m) is not good at writing. Those iometer setups combine reading with writing. I know the M becomes very very slow when those are done together and I am assuming the ioxtreme is similar. If it is just reading, the numbers will be very different, as we will probably (hopefully) see when lowfat and I get one.

I should have said access time not latency. Access time of ioxtreme is 0.08. Acards + 1231 are 0.05 or so. Yours is 0.22?

Yes, a single x25-m gives 135mbps at 4kb 100% reads que @ 32. This is the official spec for the drive as well, as you can see on the Intel site. Realistically on a used drive I believe it is a bit less though. Like 125. I dont have an x25-m to give you a screenie, but this is a pretty basic and well known spec of the drive...

You know if you just ran l4d and measured your loading time you would see things for yourself...
