When I had spoken to a friend of mine ( who is a very active member in the storage forum ) before posting results, I had asked, should I beat Stevero in the manner he is running, or should I go all out and cache the FIRST subtest ontop of it?
His response was - go all out, and show how it is done.
Sorry if I displeased you by doing so.
From you negative undertone in your comments, it appears that you disagree with me using my RAID controler to it's max capabilities. Why?
My primary use form my Areca is video editing. I need to use all the system memory that is available to me. I cannot afford to create a cache drive based on system memory. A raid controler with onboard cache, is a solution with real world benefits and advantages. Want me to cripple my rig even more as it already is???
People have been using software based cache drives in PCMarks for a while now. Some intentionally, others accidently. I can clearly see the real world benefits from running software based cache drives on your system memory, but for me it is not an option, and I prefer to use a DEDICATED hardware solution for my and this purpose.
Do you also complain when people are using Intel's onboard raid controler, or some of Adaptec's controler where the driver smartly creates a cache drive using your system memory? OR some clowns who ontop create multiple small arrays, software stripe these again, thus creating a BIG software based ramdrive with the sole purpose of gettting a top score in PCMarks?
If you don't like what I am doing just ignore me. But PLEASE don't be-little me.
Afaik I still have the highest HDD suite overall score without any RAID controler caching involved, to appease even folks with your viewpoint.
