LSI 9211-8i versus LSI 9260-8i versus Areca 1231ML-2G

[Computurd]

once you load the game, after you actually start loading it, hit the tilde button. just once. it is this button ~ but you dont have to hit shift.
i would recommend some more targeted results for sequential reads, maybe at a QD of 4 and 8 as well, because they can have an impact on load times etc under certain scenarios. for instance anandtech suggests that 69 percent of reads during gaming are sequential. so it has more impact than just file transfer application..
i think everyone here is interested in gaming performance in particular. so not only 4k random is going to come into play.

Only 20% of the accesses are 4KB in size, nearly 40% are 64KB and 20% are 32KB. A whopping 69% of the IOs are sequential, meaning this is predominantly a sequential read benchmark

some maybe some sequential/random at larger file sizes as well. i would suggest 32 and 64kb as well at some lower queue depths, perhaps 4 6 and 8. i know this only adds to complexity of the benchmark, but really it will only take a few minutes
