Vertex LE vs Crucial C300

[Anvil]

Looks like we have a winner combo here on ich10r

It certainly looks that way

Damn. After Anvils results I want to grab another!! LOL

That's what I'm thinking right now. 2 of these scream but what would 3 do?
I'll make up my mind when I'm done testing on the LSI 9260.

amazing scaling anvil,
read and write are almost the same, huge write bandwidth at the 4KB,
yet curiosity rises as for QD of 4-10 on read 4KB, if it goes as well as the 32QD, then Nizzen is right, anyhow, seems like the ultimate dual RAID setup!

as for the earlier graphs lars showed,

it seems the WB cache is performing miraculously here, have another look at the graphs and see how well the write through operates on the X25-M's at the small 4KB blocks vs the write back and how it changes at the bigger 64kb blocks , awkward results .

I've saved the iometer results for later, if GullLars want's to make the graphs he's welcomme.
I'll post the iometer result files anyway.

I never got around to trying 6 256gb c300s on ich. Anvil's scores kind of make me want to but I'm all setup now for 24/7 I don't really want to reinstall again. What if ich with 6 drives performed better than my 9260 with 8 drives? That would sure hurt.

You should have
3-4 of these on the ICH should be very interesting, it might saturate at 3, hard to tell.

I think 3x would probably max out ich10, 4 for sure.
4 would probably be the ideal number for the 1231ml4g

This is starting to get fun but also a bit expensive
I'll wait for the Areca 1880 reviews, if it performs like it should it moves to the top of my list.

I've finished 4-16KB stripe size testing, it looks like 16KB just might win.
I haven't had the time to study the iometer result files though.
(I'll post them later today)

edit:
I'm seriously considering buying an 890FX-SB850 board along with a Thuban. (6 core)
The MBs come with 6x 6Gb/s SATA ports , it could get to be a performance monster using the onboard controller.
Any thoughts?
