wow this tool is very functional! As i am exploring more of it i am seeing that we can do some cool stuff here....
Basically i loaded two I7 920 systems, one having a single Vertex LE (SF based) SSD and the other with my array of 5 vertex (gen 1) SSD on a areca 1880IX-12 w/4gb cache, and began monitoring with a C:\* filter.
Then i turned on programs on each computer one by one...pretty much one after the other....
five instances of firefox, Windows Media player (playing), then acronis image home (did NOT do an image though, just let it sit on) my passsword manager, my sound manager, and a camera feed was turned on on both rigs.
I also have a host of exact same desktop gadgets running on both computers.
Then once i had all this running i turned on the game FarCry2 simultaneously (or very close to) on both rigs, and let the intro run, where you have to ride around in a jeep. however from previous testing i know that during this sequence the program is streaming from the disk pretty heavily.
then i shut down the programs in reverse order (first on one, then on the other), and stopped logging
Vertex LE system
and then Areca array system
Now, i know this is hardly conclusive data here, but it does show a taste of array v single SSD performance of sorts. The array handles the high QD situations much more effectively of course.
Now, to figure out how to record, then replay on a seperate computer, a trace, and monitor it. if that is possible of course....
