Noob's here ;o)
I play for the first time with my on board nVidia SataII Raid, and I got some strange numbers.
I tested my 2 HD Seagate 320g sata2 alone first
And I got using PC Wizard 2007
Sequetial writing 59.89 MB/s
Sequetial reading 70.65
Buffered writing 179.93
Buffered reading 186.26
Random reading 92
I thought I should be close to 300 MB/s ?
then I move 2 HD on my nVidia Raid on striping mode and got
Sequetial writing 74.77 MB/s
Sequetial reading 89.32
Buffered writing 173.99
Buffered reading 182.46
Random reading 103
who also suprised me, only 10 o 20 MB/s faster ...
I thought I got at least aroung 50MB/s
So is those numbers seem ok for you?
I was tempted by a raid 5,
so what should I expect from 3 hds ?
so what should I expect from 4 hds ?
Thanks
EDIT - add this benchmark ;-)
Mirroring Array with the same HDs
