    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    houkouonchi, do you see any reason to get the ultrastar drives over the deskstar aside from the longer warranty?

    Think I'm ready to take the SSD plunge (gaming related)

    m4 or c300 would be my two choices whichever you can get cheaper. You will notice more of a difference in your os, apps than gaming I think.

    Areca 1880 w/ Z68 Chipset?

    Crucial C300 amazing performance on Intel native SATA III ports!

    It would certainly explain why some m4s/c300s are giving way lower 4k results than others. It's possible that as-ssd is pretty cpu intensive on some tests and it might only be using 1 core like most programs do so the extra core clock helps a lot in those situations.

    Crucial M4 vs. C300??

    c300 is faster in benchmarks and real life unless you're looking for purely sequential reads/writes. That being said the m4 is a better value since it's quite a bit cheaper.

    Crucial C300 amazing performance on Intel native SATA III ports!

    Here my 64GB c300 which is almost completely full. I've seen a wide range of 4k results for the new m4 ssds however the result I found on overclock.net below doesn't look too far off from a c300.

    Socket 1155 MB with IPMI that takes a core i7 with new AES instrution set?

    LSI 9260 Compatible LGA 1155 Motherboard Needed

    Some boards will not work properly with hardware raid controllers. If you want to be on the safe side stick with a server board like Tyan or Supermicro both make 1155 socket boards at reasonable prices.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    RHEL6 kernel probably has it backported in just like they do with many other things. It would still be a good idea to compile the latest source code driver however or at least take a look at the one they provided. Few more things to check are you running the latest firmware? Also, check to...

    Recommend Me a 1155 Mobo

    It will allow you to run x16/x16 instead of the usual x8/x8 on p67 boards. Depending on your resolution and other things it could make a difference.

    New C300 Firmware.

    AS-SSD shows your firmware version. I've updated some ssds in the past without issue however I've also seen plenty of people get screwed over from them so always best to keep a back-up of important data.

    Intel Xeon E3-1220 for storage servers

    Personally, I would most likely skip Supermicro and go with the Tyan S5510GM3NR because it provides a 3rd intel nic that can actually be used for something other than a useless dedicated ipmi nic. I've also had a much better experience with Tyan boards.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    You could always compile your own kernel from source not sure why you wouldn't really using a high performance card like an 1880 a 2.6.18 kernel is going to kill that performance...

    What is the best Sata 2 SSD for gaming?

    Overall best ssd right now is the c300. However, if you were to compare several good ssds I honestly doubt you would even notice much if any difference between them in real world situations.

    Question for 3ware 9650SE and 9750 Owners

    The 9650SE is a horrible card upgrading to an areca 1880 would be a huge difference. I don't recommend lsi or 3ware based on previous bad experiences with them in terms of reliability and performance they are by far the worst I have dealt with.

    Intel Announces Next in Solid-State Drive Line Up
