Intel x25-V

[SteveRo]

SteveRo, what is your PCmark Vantage HDD total score with those 4? 56.000 like the ORB window in the back says?
And have you tried them on ICH10R? You may get higher scores there.
And once again, your 1231ML seems to top out around 60K IOPS. 4x x25-V should be able to pass 100K, maybe even 120K.

I think Anvil is tinkering with stripe sizes on ICH10R from 4K-128K and PCMV HDD test, maybe we'll se some tables later.

Good morning,
Yes - when I did the 1231-9211-9260 compare back in December we saw that the ich10 was better than all three in the pcmv HDD test.
Back then, it was interesting that the pcmv suite test shuffled the deck again (vs. the HDD test) making the best from first to last - 1231, 9211, ich10 and the 9260.
But that was with the 1231ml-2g not 4g (2 vs 4GB cache) and that was with early LSI f/w.
The pecking order might be much different if I reran that test today.
I should be able to get an indication of that - relative to the LSI anyway - I have a 9211 on the way, much thanks to Paul.

Question for someone with the LSI 9211 and new f/w - Does the new 9211 f/w allow stripe size changes?
I think the acards usually like smaller stripes for higher performance.
