Ok so here is Pcmark vantage HDD test for the LSI 9211-8i, Areca 1231ML-2G, LSI 9260-8i and intel ich10R (onboard raid).
The i7-965 and memory were set to 4.35 (132x33) and 1848 (8-8-8) woth pcie clock at 101.
The arrays used and (rather surpising) results for each test are as follows –
Ich10R – 6x acard 9010 R0 – 66175 pnts
9211-8i – 8xacardR0 – 60108
1231ML-2G – 8xacardR0 – 56210
9260-8i – 8xacardR0 – 47428
Ich10R – 1x Mtron Mobi 3000 (boot drive) – 12022.
Surprising that ich10 does so well – there might be something to that low latency argument.
For only 233 bucks – the 9211 beats both the 1231 and the 9260 in this test.
As you would hope, this test is very sensitive to storage capabilities - compare the single mtron mobi results to the others.
At some point I want to test s/w raid of some of the above combinations – an ich10R and the 9211 combination might score well.
Screen captures to follow, next up – pcmark vantage “pcmark suite” results.
