Well I don't know what is holding back actual real world speeds. Bandwidth and random IOPs are both pretty damn high. It may be that we are at the point that we need a dedicated processor to handle all storage devices. I don't think the chipset that the ioXtreme does all that much. If you take a look at my CPU usage in my Iometer runs you'll see it is at like 40%.
Hopefully I'll see more of an increase in performance once I am back on phase and up to 4.6-4.8GHz.
Now to answer your question. With the current results, no way would I have bought it. I would have stuck w/ my X25-M.
