SCSI RAID

SATA RAID on Lsi MR SATA-6

Plain old ATA-100

Thank you! Glad I'm not the only one to see that. I got better results with a single Maxtor 40 GB drive than I did with my SCSI RAID-0 stripe with two 15K rpm drives! :roll:

But your SCSI raid results look pretty good, Shuttleteam. 😕 Must be that whole PCI-X thing. 🙁

This thing is junk.

Thank for the link, though, NFS4. 🙂

It might be the obscene amount of cache on his SCSI controller...

Ditto, did you see mine ??? This thing blows chunks.....
 
Not so impressive now, is it?

How much cache do you have on that bad boy again?

Well the STR looks better with the cache OFF if you believe in this benchmark.

Performance is much, much faster with the cache and advanced options ON.

When the cache is OFF, burst speed metric is showing burst speed from disk 0 on ch 0 according to the disk annunciator. When the cache is on, burst speed is being read from the cache. Other programs show much higher bursts approaching 1 GB/S.

There is 1GB of PC3200 DDR cache and a Li Ion battery that allows this to be retained for 100 hours at full charge in the event SD commit terminates during an abrupt shutdown during condition of anomaly.

Cheers!

I'd assume that the bursts would max out the bus you have the controller on (PCI-X right?). I just think that it's insane that your SCSI card has double the RAM of my PC!

In theory it should since the HBA specification shows the cache memory bandwidth capable of 1.6 GB/S transfers. The HBA is running at 133 MHz PCI-X currently which has (ABMAX) 1024 MB/S bandwidth.

Cheers!
 
I think a lot of the low burst read scores is directly related to low bus speed or poor memory performance.


Heres my result.

Burst 206
Average 103
Randon access 8.7
CPU 4%

2 36g Raptors Raid on a IS7 Board
running at 3.1GHz bus speed of around 240 I think.

 
Specs are in my sig (AXP 3200+, 512MB, 80GB SATA DM9+)

Short:

Burst: 118.4
Avg: 48.9
14.9 ms
0% CPU


Long:

Burst 112.3
Avg: 49.0
15.2 ms
0% CPU
 
Short
Burst - 129.2mbps
Avg - 74.7mbps
RA - 5.5ms
CPU - 5%

Long
Burst - 129.2mbps
Avg - 74.5mbps
RA - 5.5ms
CPU - 5%

Seemed to give pretty accurate results for my Fujitsu 15k SCSI drives.
 
I get some INSANE BURST SPEEDS. Don't know why, or what's going on. (Running sata raid0 off a built in Promise controller, 2 Hitachi 80gig drives, Athlon 64 3000+, MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R mb, 1 gig ram.)
Results (Blue is short, Red is long)
