post your hard drive benchmarks :)

Hi there guys, I've just upgraded my disk system, so I thought I'd include a few screen shots Its IBM's 73Gb 15k SAS drives, 6 in Raid 0 on a Adaptec 5805 card I'm trying to find two more to make 8
Anyways, here's some results:

PC Mark 05 HD Tests (Might try Vantage a bit later)


CrystalDiskMark 2.2 (100Mb)


HD Tune Write


HD Tune Random Write


HD Tune File Benchmark


I've done a few more if you'd like them posted as well

@ phill

Ok, now try CrystalDiskMark with 1000MB

Linear read test Areca 1680ix + 5 Vertex ssd

More ssd drives did not help

Would you mind trying testing with the specs in the Intel IOmeter thread? I'm thinking you might be pleasantly surprised even if your peak numbers don't go up with more than five disks in this test, assuming the limitation is peak bandwidth and not amount of IOPs handled by a even bigger array or MB/sec of different queue depths @ 4k random writes.

I would personally love to see if the BW cap means anything at all in situations where you probably aren't bandwidth limited at all.

Just seems pointless to me anymore. You can just buy 2 SSD's and be done with it. Draw about 1 watt of power, quiet and hardly any heat!

Drop a VelociRaptor for storage and you're done!

No bench - it´s real!

Here's a raid5 I just set up for storing files/backup images and digitizing my dvd/cd collection ,

areca 1222 and 8x WD 500gb Green Power drives.



Also couple intel X25-M SSD's running on the onboard ich10 of my gaming rig. (no room for raid card w/ my tri-sli )

[Dostoyevsky77]

Summary: OCZ Vertexes in RAID-0 outperform WD Raptors in RAID-0 by a factor of four.

Both RAID block sizes are set to 128k, because the X38 onboard RAID controller doesn't allow larger sizes.

Pay close attention to the scale of the graphs. They are very different.


My first test was using HD Tach in compatibility mode. I like HD Tach, but it made me nervous to use it in compatibility mode.

Vertex Results:




Raptor Results:




Then, I ran an Everest "read suite" test on both:




Finally, I did an HD Tune on both volumes using the default 64k chunk size (let me know if any of you want different chunk sizes tested; these can dramatically affect performance in RAID-0)

Vertex Results (notice the access times pegged at the bottom):




Raptor Results (not sure about the down-spike):




Finally, you can see that all of Vista with drivers installed leaves plenty of room for other stuff on the SSDs. Note that the Raptors are currently empty (perfect place for program files) and that I have a networked drive for all media/backup stuff in case my RAIDs die. Also, note the 80GB drive (e:\), whose sole function is to handle the pagefile.




New benchie with 512 byte-size blocks in HD Tune:

Partition #2

2x Acard 9010 (Hyperdrive 5) @ ARC-1261D-ML (2GB ECC-Ram)







I think, this is my maximum...

Left with 128k Stripesize - right mit 4k Stripesize...




Both with 128k Stripes...




With 4k Stripes and Workstation-Pattern...

@F.E.A.R: That was ridiculous! You keep posting scores like that nobody will dare to post their benchies!

Here's my slowass 4x VelociRaptor array (raid0) on a Areca 1100 (PCI-x)

New results from the last time. I added two more Fujitsu MBA3147RCs and made a RAID-10.

4 x Fujitsu MBA3147RC 147GB 15K RPM SAS in RAID-10

Here's a picture. Two of them fit in a single 3.5" bay.

Try HDtune 3.50 (Random Access) and IOmeter (Workstation)
And maybe PCmark 05 or PCmark Vantage. (HDD-Suite)

1st post Raid 0 2x Samsung SpinPoint P120S 250GB

So i did this. Changing the PCI starting at 100, 106, 108, 109, 100 and 112
I would think from the results that 110 is better,

Cant resist asking the following question.

From the M/B Specs that i Google found the following
In an effort to eventually get rid of the conventional IDE ATA standard, the X38 chipset removes IDE support altogether. Despite this, the Maximus Formula ships with a single IDE port thanks to the use of the JMicron JMB368 PATA controller. The ICH9R south bridge offers up to six Serial II ATA ports, boasting data transfer rates of up to 300MB/s. Intel also offers RAID functions for these four SATA ports, supporting RAID 0 for performance and RAID 1 for protection, along with RAID 5 and RAID10. Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) further boosts performance with Native Command Queuing (NCQ), and provides native hot plug for drive swaps.

Now
If the drives them selfs supporting 3Gb/s speed and the MotherBoard it self does the same, Why are is the speed result lower that that?
I know n00b question.. but here you have it.
