Maybe due to running out of cache?

The random I/O perf on the 9260 is very disappointing. Makes me think I should wait until Q1 next year and upgrade to the Areca 1800 series instead -- assuming they can solve the small-block latency issues, of course.
Where did you see Areca 1800 not till next year?
That's dissapointing too.
