Great ! Thanks for that info on access time.

I am looking at 2 of the 9010 installed onto my ARC-1231ML and set in Raid 0. From what I gather the 9010 has 2 SATA ports on each unit, so I would need 4 SATA ports total. This matches up just fine with the 4 SATA ports I have left on my controller card.

I wounder now how well these will scale in a setup like this. That would be 128gig total and a OS installed on that. I am thinking that would be in the range of 800mb/sec bandwidth with 0.05ms access time. Pretty fast.

However with my current SSD Raid 0 I am in the range of 950mb/sec bandwidth and 0.1 access time.

Side by side these 2 setups should perform pretty close but with the ACRAD mopping the floor with writes and small file access.

Should be an interesting test thats for sure.

I-RAMS are looking rather interesting to me also, I don't like the fact that they need a slot for power. I can just see 12 I-RAMs connected to my ACR-1231ML as a Raid 0, but as far as being usefull for anything other than a bench is not good.
