post your hard drive benchmarks :)

[gasiads09]

I have used Maxtor and WD, and tried the new Samsung drives, no difference in overclock with any of them, since the PCI & AGP buss is locked, the hard drive should not be holding you back. Are you stuck at 200 FSB?

[THOMO]

Quite chuffed with this little setup....helps with the game loads

4x software raid0 - 3x sata + 1x ide

80gb seagate barracuda 7200.7 ide
160gb maxtor 6Y160M0 sata
200gb seagate barracuda 7200.7 SATA 200822ST3200822AS sata
250gb maxtor STM3250310AS sata

simpletech is that on the onboard intel raid? thats pretty amazing. How the hell are your random 4k writes so fast? what size was that stripe?

here are my 2 ocz 60gb summit drives on AMD sb750 raid0 64kb stripe

*******************UPDATE************************* *

same drives / same stripe 64kb stripe on LSI 9260-4i sas/sata raid card.



win7 64 enterprise 7600
biostar TA790GX A3+ / sb750
am3 x4 965c3
4x2gb D9 ddr3
5850
2x64gb ocz summit 19c FW raid0 64kb on LSI 9260-4i


i'm dumping the summits for 149 ea on ebay, plus all my am3 cpus and the board and going back to intel 775 for a brief period until the new cpus and boards come out in a month or so.
-consider this my last bench with this setup.

[F.E.A.R.]

2x Acard 9010 32GB + Areca ARC-1261ML

left with cache - right without cache

[mk_dir]

Some 8HD X RAID0 benchmarks. Adaptec RAID 5805 controller, the HDs are Hitachi's 7K2000, P6T6 Revolution motherboard:











Write/read caches are on. RAID6 configuration brings similar results.

Awesome results F.E.A.R.

[Agrophel]

Areca 1231ML 2GB cache 2x Intel 160GB SSD



Areca 1680-16 2GB cache 10x WD BLACK 1TB Raid 6



Perc 5i 256MB cache 3x Raptor 150GB (1x VelociRaptor) raid 0




3 Hardware raid on 3 pcs

[mk_dir]

RAID 6 results (HD Tune), same config (8 X Hitachi 7K2000 & Adaptec RAID 5805 & P6T6 Revo):

Areca 1680-16 2GB cache 10x WD BLACK 1TB Raid 6

7.9ms seek time, and only 2199GB, is that a partition/slice i guess. Nice systems.

[RejZoR]

Insane. And i'm thinking what to do with my netbook and it's 50MB/s transfers lol...

Some SSD benching, A SSD Benchmark on Intel X25-M G1 FW 8822 RAID0, same Adaptec Controller:



G1 RAID0 brings the same result than a single Postville.

I've bought X25-M 80GB G2 for my Aspire One, but results were not really worth it imo. Sure boot was faster and it used less power (i got extra 1,5 hour on battery!), but programs still loaded slowly (not all but mostly) and benchmarked speed was way below what i expected. Read was hardly over 100MB/s and that's something better HDD's for aptops can pull off for half the price and 6 times larger capacity.

I've decided to buy extra RAM instead and use SuperSpeed SuperCache on it. 512MB cache to boost existing HDD should do the trick for almost no extra cost. Plus, extra RAM always helps.

[Tiltevros]

9211-i8 with 7 intels

first 2 pics are 4k seq 1 queue depth for latency and 4k seq 32queue for max perfomance
senond 2 pics are 64k file seq. 32 queue depth for maximum performance.

@ Agrophel

And without cache? (AS SSD)

That read below 100MB/sec shows something is wrong, I'm over 200MB/sec single drive and just shy of 600MB/sec with 3 drive RAID0 in sequential reads in crystaldiskmark.

Does the aspire have SATAI ports instead of II?
maybe try updating the chipset drives?
does it do ahci?

wow...sweet setup indead....win7 install time 2min?lol







whats mobos are u ppl using FOR THESE RAID CARDS???????????? 4x or 8x pci ex 2.0 slots are needed?





biostar engys and lsi engys told me NOT to use the 16x extra video card(XFIRE) slot on my biostar i45 mobo as it is 16x and also backwards compatble to 8x 2.0 but might wig out AND NOT officially supported or tested???

I'll answer your PM here. This is my configuration with the P6TD Revolution:



As you can see in the picture, the GPU in the first slot (2nd disabled due to his heatsink), Adaptec 5850 controller works in the third, finally 2 X Intel Quad PT Server (PCI-e 4X) on the 4 & 5 slots.

(bad picture quality sorry).

More drives and faster controller.

8 x Fujitsu MBA3147RC 147GB 15K SAS

RAID-5, 64KB Stripe, Write-Back, Disk Cache Enabled

[Musho]

After about 4 months of usage, still running strong:

What stripesize is that? The default 128kb? Also, do you have writeback-cache enabled? I envy your 4k @ QD1 writes. How did you get 100MB/s+? As far as I know, at queue depth 1, those shouldn't scale with raid0 (unless you're ofcourse running a stripesize of 2kb, which would kill your sequentials, if that's even possible with the ICH10R. Probably not. Anyway, very nice results! Running a single x25-m 80gb at the moment, but I'll order 2 more soon. I'll post some benches then. Hopefully my 4kb writes will scale as nicely as well. Kind of weird your 4kb writes take a hit when going to the higher queue depths, though How much do you write to the array on daily basis on average btw? Your speeds are still new-like. Is the garbage collect feature that good in Intel's SSD?

[[AK]Zip]

This makes me really want to go SSD... I think I need to start looking for some deals.

[gergregg]

Controller cache at work. Try the 1000mb setting.
