Intel MatrixRaid 0/5 HDTach Results

I was looking for these before I made the purchase. I figured someone who was looking for same result as me would appreciate this.

Setup was under ICH9R. 4x WD 7500AAKS.

Intel MatrixRaid works very well. Two different arrays with same physical HDs. Brilliant!

I would have thought the average read for the Raid-5 would have been higher than the Riad-0. Interesting.

Nice numbers though! Wonder what you would have gotten with 150G raptors..

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but these results are frustrating without a single drive used for reference testing in the same set-up. Please post those if you can so we have a frame of reference. Thanks.

Although RAID 5 isn't nearly as handicapped in terms of read performance as write speed, 4 drives in a RAID 0 will destroy it. RAID 5 as all kinds of parity over-head that RAID 0 doesn't have to deal with.
