    I just ordered a 9260-8i and a 4th acard - hoping for compatability!
    If all comes together well - expecting 1400/1200 seq. read/write and some very high random numbers.
    What 9260 firmware and controller settings seems to be working best for SSDs?

    I also have one on the way to hopefully uncork my SSDs...I'd have bought the Intel version of the card if it was available. I'm hoping for some interesting results...
    Server: HP Proliant ML370 G6, 2x Xeon X5690, 144GB ECC Registered, 8x OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS 240GB on LSi 9265-8i (RAID 0), 12x Seagate Constellation ES.2 3TB SAS on LSi 9280-24i4e (RAID 6) and dual 1200W redundant power supplies.

    These settings are best for lowest latency:



    I use a 128k stripe personally but it might be better to go larger depending on usage

    ps. now you have a replacement you can sell me your 1231ML

    I will let you know if I decide to replace the 1231ML.
    I have high hopes for the 9260-8i - you don't sound to encouraging.

    In what way do I not sound encouraging?

    The card is awesome, fast and so far reliable.

    The only downside is slightly higher latency than the Areca due to SAS overhead.

    How can this level of available card bandwidth be discouraging:

    I'm sure the card is pretty awesome. I would love to have one too, but please...why do we have to see benchmarks using 50MB?

    50mb was used to illustrate the card bandwidth capabilities on my setup not how fast my array is.
