Something I've always noticed about the Areca cards is that 4K with QD32 and above doesn't seem to scale as well as LSI w/ fastpath or even onboard Intel. Not much of a concern for me in real world usage, but its still interesting. The rest of the numbers just destroy my current setup. Will probably end up selling my Intel card and upgrading. Although I might wait for the 1883ix release. 8GB of cache sounds awesome.

Any chance we could get some Anvil runs with 4GB+ test size?
