LSI 9260-8i

[Serra]

its SAS controller.. its not native sata.. it dont matter if its next generation.. its still soft based+increased access/latency

i dont hate it.. you guys just dont get it.. i thought i was hard in the head but some you just take the cake!!

@ real apps the 1231 still faster.. prove me otherwise.. with your 9xxx you guys should loadup stuff much faster than my 1231 going by your benches and hypes

Man, again - put up or shut up. Opening a bunch of YOUR applications doesn't prove **** about the 1231. How the **** are we meant to compete with that? Open a few hundred apps of our own, then enjoy the fact that it's not a fair comparison at all because the apps wouldn't be the same and the fact that opening applications does just plain place a load on the CPU? Add into that that you have a high OC on your C2Q, and others with (eg.) and i7 would be faster and therefore also unfair? Tell you what, at the very least, re-run the test with your proc clocked down to stock frequency and then re-run the test. If your results are any different for the worse, you lose all right to speak, OK?

Seriously man, tests like IOmeter are used in industry to test production servers by many Fortune 500 companies. Yes, they're "synthetic", but they also actually do what they say they do - namely read and/or write files of various sizes. At the end of the day, that's all real-world tests come down to for storage purposes.

LSI users:

Try pcmark vantage!

http://www.futuremark.com/community/...pcmarkvantage/

I hope you can beat my 24/7 computer with Areca 1680ix + 5 vertex

If the LSI can not beat the hdd numbers in my run, there is no hope for LSI :p

I hope LSI will fly high!

[Computurd]

hey Nizzen i will compare with yours, but run JUST the "HDD SUITE", then we will compare those scores. ONLY HDD.

[Nizzen]

Yes only the hdd suite

[Nizzen]

LSI users: Where are the Pcmark vantage results?

[Jor3lBR]

LSI users: Where are the Pcmark vantage results?

Or PCMark05 HDD Suite.

[Nizzen]

Or PCMark05 HDD Suite.

No Vantage FTW

OK, here is pcmark 05 hdd tests:

Here is my vantage results....
#9 in the hall of fame
FIRST RUN
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcmv=222666
dunno much about this bench, long workday today, i guarantee that i will give you fullresults tommorow its my day off!

http://www.futuremark.com/community/...pcmarkvantage/
#9 baby! Exhilirating!

Very Nice Computrd

Could you please post your PcMsark05 also cause I can compare with my ORB link.

[Computurd]

I just made that run with the OS on the array, there are some improvements that need to be made according to my sources...LOL...anyways that was a prelim run of vantage, gonna actually set it up with the uber 1 MB stripe, this controller loves that baby! THEN i will get to work...i will post that for you jor3lBR by this time tommorow, promise!

[Computurd]

@NIZZEN....it has come to my attention that some of your results are not submittable, those are skewed results, your XP Startup benches show that those are 'borked' (i.e. defective) results. You are aware of this. Why are you posting these unsubmittable results!!??

I just ran pcmark 05. I can post a another result later today But the Pcmark Vantage result is good anyway

[Computurd]

ok, thanks! That is a very very nice pcmark vantage score, wow!\
gonna do my best to challenge it!

1231/4x jmicron slc ssd

[Computurd]

yes this bench is not playing nicely with this controller...i am getting real random results, i need to take it off this nf200 slot and run more benches but that screws my tri-sli...the thing is this benchmark is giving way lower numbers than any other benchmarks, running it in win7 though, that may have something to do with it...

[Nizzen]

Running windows 7 here too, and it is fast

[Computurd]

Yes, but there are a lot of optimizations that go into running these benchmarks, and guys who do the hwbots are very very familiar with that stuff, i am not..
The differences between these controllers are not that big, they are not scaling in these vantage and pcmark05 as they are with other benchmarks. A ten percent difference in i/o meter, etc, is a thirty percent difference in these benchmarks, must be something to do with how they bench....

[Jor3lBR]

1231/4x jmicron slc ssd

I guess there is an amazing tweak some guys are doing to get these results on HDD General Usage and Virus Scan:

There is just no way!
I beat him on every single HDD tests but those two and strangely only those 2 gave him the most points.

Here's mine run (ICH10 + 4 Super Talent 32Gb):

[NapalmV5]

^ but of course

no optimizations/tweaks whatsoever.. raw/pure performance

you guys want optimizations ?? here you go..

cache optimization


not good enough ??

here you go.. mft optimization



can your future controller do that ??

[Computurd]

i think looking to these types of benchmarks, I.E. Pcmark Vantage and PCMark05, to accurately gauge the performance of storage systems and controllers is a fools errand anyway, they are designed for something else entirely! The differences shown between these systems using proven benches, everest.i/ometer/as ssd etc...just dont scale with the differences shown in these other benchmarks. oh well it is fun playing with them though!

EDIT: Just seen napalms little post there...FUNNY
Just proves that you can make it see whatever you want it too, and that running these was a pointless waste of time! LOL
ooyh well that #9 on vantage is still pretty sweet though!

Holy Bananas!

I hate HWbot now

Napalm can you do that and limit the XP StartUp bench at 220MB/s?

[Computurd]

I say the only way to resolve this is by running bootup i/o meter, mr nizzen, post it up!

[justin.kerr]

Here is my run when I first tried out my LSI, original FW, poorly optimized, getting better, but I feel this hardware has a ways to go with updates before it shines/ if it will shine.

Nice!
Great job!
