    Just quoting anandtech on the G1 x25-m review, I'm not stating a personal opinion, but I did not make that clear. Are you getting confused between the vertex and x25-M on cache?

    Is this not the problem the J-Microns have with their 16kb cache?
    I just don't believe an x25-m wouldn't stutter if it only had 16kb of cache resources to use.
    Are you Intel's Btch?

    Great results as always mate.
    I´m not Napalm, but i´m using almost the same controler (ARC-1261ML).
    I´ve running Kingston KVR533D2E4/2G (2GB ECC) on this controller

    heres the last vid on this 1231/4x slc jmicron "fiasco/bickering/etc"

    100-app loadup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFnAV53-1nE

    you can considerate it as a slow loadup

    kernel paging disabled.. my guess 4-5 seconds less if enabled

    i just dont have the time to try/confirm so ill leave it at that

    took two days to do the 100-app.. i only got so much time.. installing all the apps/doing testing the app.bat/taking vid/uploading.. takes whole lot of time

    ok i got the 100app going now.. i can add cod4 cod5 and loadem up like the peanuts they are.. and i can show you the system booting with the giga ep45 extreme/areca 1231 512mb and doing all the loadups after booting.. but you guys still wont be satisfied/wont believe it

    you guys then will say that somehow i sped up the vid.. all the vids ive posted are raw and unedited.. not one frame deleted/added/modified/anything

    give me a good reason to spend anymore of my time on this.. all i get is insults/"shenanigans"

    Would it be possible to integrate the boot up timer script Rhys posted with your .bat file? If possible it would give the time it takes to do a complete restart, boot and 100 app load with a single click and time it for you.
    I would be most curious in that.

    Also if you would post a video of that kind of script at work, from the begining to the end... I think people should be satisfied!

    Napalm, I just want to be 100% sure, as you know the old saying "If it looks too good to be true it probably isn't".

    I don't think you can blame us for wanting to rule out the possibility of any shenanigan's if the results buck the trend of our current logic of storage systems, because I don't want to go out and spend big $/£ on a card that someone 'could' have inflated it's performance.

    You see we can't always trust what we see on the other end of a modem as no one is perfect, and I can't ignore the temptation/motive to inflate the size of one's e-peen.

    All this time I have been hoping I was wrong....... I just need to believe I am.

    I know it takes time, and I already appreciate what you have done so far, But I think what would help erase the seed of doubt is if you did the following:

    With you new HD cam, Film the whole thing by hand, i.e. you pressing the power button, waiting for Bios to post, getting to desktop, running the bat file and COD4/5 and then possibly even the script I posted that times your restart time.

    If you did it like this then I doubt anyone could accuse you of any shenanigans etc. and quite simply you will then definitely have the fasted system the vast majority of us have seen, if not all.
    Are you Intel's Btch?

    Napalm,
    I believe you right now, but I would love to see the entire thing including the power on/boot process. It's time to see how long that Areca takes to initialize!

    Hi Napalm. I just watched your cod loading time. Insane! Out of interest have you tried any other ssd's with your raid card?

    im using the 512 here:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ame=Unbuffered

    single sided 512/dual sided 1gb and 2gb work but not the current single sided 1gb @ newegg

    new firmware will probably remedy that

    If you film it by hand and start from when you power on the machine, I don't think anyone could really 'call bogus'!

    You see other raid cards hinder performance, Your benchmark performance isn't the fasted, but your video's show it is pretty much the fasted Nand (possibly Ram also) based SSD's.
    What's the issue with filming it in such a way that we can be sure it's legit?
    Heck even if you say "I told you so" in the Video! Lol

    Napalm I’m wondering if the raw throughput ability of the early generation drives in combination with the 1231 hard raid is actually a better set up than what might be obtained with new gen drives? I could lend you 2 x25-e’s when my G2 arrives if you could find another 2 to experiment with. Only two conditions. One, I get them back Two, I can see a video of your pc from boot up to game launching. Deal?

    Nice vid, Napalm! Thanks...
    turning off all those apps, looks tiresome, I wouldn't have the nerves.
    You need a shutdown script to run in parallel!
    And maybe one of these new LSI cards under your Christmas tree: http://www.lsichannelgateway.com/new.../20090728.html "performance with up to 2.88 GB/s in sequential reads and 1.87 GB/s in sequential writes"

    Great work Napalm!

    You have a great system there. How about doing a short video of your system boot -cold boot please? No need for the 100 app loading in the video.

    MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i:

    Would be nice to see if they outperform the 1231ML's cause they cost half the price!

    Reviews please!

    Must say a lot of you guys seems all winded up over high end raid controllers, but are they really that great when we are talking a normal raid 0 configuration compaired to onboard raid? In most benchmark tests I have seen they don't seem more than 5-10% faster. Of course in benchmark tests thats all great but is it something people would notice in daily computer use?

    If Napalms results are legit, then yes it would be VERY noticeable as in load times cut in half over an x25.
    Benchmarks tell a different story however, and say the raid should 'actually' be worse. Hence why I was pushing for a video recording of the whole process including power on, boot up etc. so I could be confident that HIGH END Areca raid cards do in fact speed things up rather than slow them down.

    the vertex stuttered even with the huge 64mb cache before different firmware came out according the the anandtech review.

    you can send me 4x x25e if you want and still you guys wont believe how fast cod4 loadup is right after bootup

    100 more vids wont be enough

    i dont care if everyone @ xs instead believes that me/my systems/all the results i ever posted/all the vids now/everything napalm is all big pile of BS.. i could care less

    funny thing is i am in the same boat with you guys just finding out just how suky (even acards) your systems are.. i knew my systems fast but damn..
