i think that is something in windows that makes my array not working properly when i bench in IOmeter everything goes normal when i hit the vandage everything sux..
if u saw my xls file that i sent u over yesterday u will be amazed about my results... even in small or big files... even in games my loads are fast.... even to the oracle that i use i broke 2-3 times my record..
in oracle ( REAL APPLICATION BENCHMARK ) im 2 times faster than a 16 array of cheetah sas drives...
Based on looking at the other high vantage scores that are available for review on the orb - I think pcmark vantage loves high throughput much more than high iops.
So how do you get that high throughput - you raid high throughput drives - the acards can only do ~175MB/s each, the x25-m's and vertex are much faster - what atleast 220MB/s or more.
If you had perfect scaling of 8 220MB/s drives - that would give you >1700MB/s throughput - look at Tilt's #120 post above - 1684MB/s - that kind of throughput should be huge for pcmark vantage.
You should have a huge pcmark HDD vantage disk score - I don't know why you're not seeing it.Originally Posted by Tiltevros

If you're gonna buy today - get the 9211-8i, if you wait a couple months - f/w and s/w for both the 9211-8i and the 9260 should improve, at some point Areca is going to have to come out with something to counter LSI - when? who knows?
Don't go 9211-4i - turd says it is only pcie x4 - that might be problem down the road.

if i upgrade to xeons and to 5520 i would have bigger score?
I don't know enough about the 5520 but if the xeons are i7 D0 stepping you should see a huge increase depending on how your mobo chipset handes them.
yes a 16 core system with 6 or 12 gb of ram
Wow - yes that should be very fast - how many x16 pcie slots on the mobo?
4 pure x16 ver2
but i would see any diff with the array??? is it going to give that something that we need?????
If the mobo manufacturer has done a good job - that should be a very hot setup.
ok tomorrow my brand new TYAN S7025 (that a 72lane m/b) with dual xeons E5520 and 6x1 kingstone will come... i hope that i will see some diff.
of course it is.I do not know. I have to ask Anvil

yes steve-o i would imagine yoiu could do a boot drive and test and get the correct results, or at least the only way to check would be to test...main thing is a percentage based comparison of the cards load times with the games.
I am having issues with the 9211 and my array. i cannot obtain high bandwidth numbers. i am limited to 1100 mb/s for some reason. i believe it is my motherboard i am not sure. i am working some various angles, but i am not convinced that i can solve it. i know the performance is there, i can see these guys getting it. i believe my problem is nf200 related. gah.

brake the raid setup and connect ur ssds on the ich1r do trim and gc test each of them and then setup again ur array (info from an IT guy)
One of the few advantages of the acards that I didn't realize when I got them - no usage degradation and easy reset. Easy reset just by removing power.
Are you seeing numbers like this, better or worse -
I do not know. I have to ask AnvilNo it's not, it is ICH10R and the Intel G1's.
The only tweak is a particular stripe size.
The forum is down so I can't check the scores for the other stripe sizes.
-
Hardware:
yes but they r not bootablethat is the reason why i dont have acards
with ICH9R and 4 intel G1's with stripe size of 128 256 the maximum result was 70k.... not even close to 120k....
Tiltevros,
You'll have to try lower stripe sizes
-
Hardware:
@ Anvil. Have you tried increasing spare area size by making a smaller partition? Intel are saying that iops go up considerably as the free area is increased.
Check out this IDF 2009 presentation (13.30)
@audienceofone
No, not yet, but it's on my list of things to try
I was thinking of using 3-4 G2 160GB with 40GB spare area each.
Hopefully I'll be able to do the tests this week.
-
Hardware:
in 9211 with 7 intels G1 and G2 im using 64k stripe size i cant change it.. and even with this stripe size and its low if u consider that they are 7 of them im still getting low scores...
