raptor raid comparo

cdawall · Nov 20, 2008

i managed to get ahold of several raptors for myself and raided them. figured i would post the results to show the hype on them.

here is the drive i'm going to use a benchmark it's a seagate 7200.10 320GB firmware 3.AAE

now for the raptors

single raptor i ran it on 2 of them forgot on the 3rd

both had the same average read so don't be worried about it

dual raptor on NV controller 64k stripe

tri raptor on NV controller 64k stripe

comparo

now what does that mean?

that for about $100 i got 100GB of reasonably fast drive. but only a 30% average read gain isn't enough to really come home bragging about

access time is also about 34-40% faster so again no huge gains

Hmmm...heres my 36gig Raptors In Raid for comparison.....your cpu usage seems alittle high.

Some one get fit in here with his new 6 drive SDD setup and get them compared!!!

cdawall · Nov 20, 2008

im going to try diff size stripes whats best performance wise right now i'm running 64k

{JNT}Raptor · Nov 20, 2008

I've always heard 16kb clusters with a 16k stripe Is a good combo.

Hope it helps.

6 SSD's

Access time is where they shine. Read/write speeds are fairly normal (for high end).

added that to my graphs

Here is mine with 2 x Raptor74Gb.

Your read speed seems to be jumping from 1 till 2 drives.

Deleted member 3 · Nov 20, 2008

Some things:

Production date of the Raptors? ie what generation are they?
Access time is far better, that's what you're paying for. Data throughput isn't that interesting in most cases.
Use an actual RAID controller
Those graphs look retarded, find out the cause, ie bad disk, crap controller, whatever.

the first generation raptors are slower than today's regular hard drives

yea, u guys may want to do velociraptors instead. I just got 2 74GB veloci and will be posting results soon on ICH9R controller (dont have a RAID card yet) and also comparing em to 2 Barracudas 7200.10 in RAID so stay tuned.

whats a good one for the money that is pci-e?

Dell Perc/5i, i think they have models that are both SATA and SAS. There are also some good Adaptec and LSI controllers, dont remember exact models but checkout newegg reviews.

I was thinking It was his controller.......plus his CPU usage Is on the high side....could be his controller tying It up.

Personally I've never liked Nvidia raid controllers.......come to think of it on all of the Nvidia RAID controllers I've used In the past their CPU usage was always in the double digits......coincidence.....or just crap controllers...who knows.

Hope it helps.

Dont know what you guys are doing but these are my results on 2x7200.11 seagates 500gb
and ich10 controller, Nvidia raid ruins drive performance.

Enjoy I certainlly do.

is this a joke? Those numbers are way off, i think.

Crap controller, I see the same results with onboard n-raid all the time.

The throughput isn't that much better, the access times are amazing.
MTBF is really good also.

Is it worth the money realistically if you have no need for them beyond heh its quicker, not really.

No joke
I have had a X38,X48 and P45 board all using the ICH9 or ICH10 controller and allmost identical results with each system, the only numbers that are off are with a Nvidia raid fullstop sorry. Nvida raid suturates the PCI bus, Intel raid does not, any one remember the old NVIDIA overclocking and raid corruption fiasco?>

BTW my raid is Raid 0, coupled with DDR3 1866mhz and games load in seconds.

My old noisy 7200.10s were abismle in raid 0 compared to the 11s

The Perc 5/i is SATA & SAS, it usually takes a 256MB cache module but can use 512MB.

I paid $225 for the card, backup battery, and 512MB cache, and two breakout cables.

Hmmm.....No Offense...but if your Raid drive was pushing 3000+mb's of throughput....the drives would melt methinks.

Gotta be a glitch in the software....or some sort of anomaly.....I don't have the answer.....but IMO theres NO way any standard HD's even in RAID could push that kind of data.

Could be wrong.....If so....gonna be buying me some of those drives. :rockout:

i also think that those speeds are not possible, may be the software is reading it wrong.
