LSI 9211-8i versus LSI 9260-8i versus Areca 1231ML-2G

[Jor3lBR]

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.

I decided to chime in for the Areca team and just made my first PCMark Vantage HDD Suite run with 2x degraded Intel X25m's not the best needs improvements:

E8600 duo core + Areca + Intel X25m = 71151 points
