You cant be serious :D
Please share with us your raid 5 results with the ICH10R...it doesn't take much to realize that it has the worst raid 5 performance ever....actually a quick google search would have enlightened you about how bad it really is.
It doesn't even get's 700mb/s...you have...
Not really, but i would like to keep it at least around 300mb/s.
You are correct, i've bought a new raid card but i didn't install it yet...i'm running this array from the onboard sas controller (lsi 1068e) and that one doesn't have any cache i was referring to files being cached by the os...
Sure one SSD is fast but on the crappy ICHR10 it only runs @ half speed...besides i want to expand my storage not reducing it in half. My raid card does have battery backup cache and 6GB/s inteface for SAS drives with sata drives it's only 3gb/s.
Sequential read is fairly important to...
Maybe the ICHR10 is ok for you...It doesn't cut it for me. If i'm going to do a raid 5 array i want hardware raid.
3 TB's have been an issue with this particular motherboard and not only for the "idiots" who tried to used them as boot drives. Just do a search for "hp z800 3tb".
Maybe i didn't explained myself to well my raid 0 array is built with 7 300gb's 15K sas hdd's.
I don't have conflicting goals getting 2 6TB's drives would not fit my budget :) plus it would be slow as hell i'm thinking in getting maybe 3tb's drives in a raid 5 setup.
Hello,
I'm looking to get a new storage setup for my workstation, currently i'm running from the IC10HR an 128GB SSD as boot drive and a couple of 1TB hdd's. I also have a very fast 2TB raid 0 array running from the onboard sas controller (lsi 1068E).
I need more storage space and a lot...
