Hello,
I have a intel S845WD1-E board with onboard Promise PDC20267 controller.
The system is set up with a P4 2Ghz with 1GB RAM.
The board also has a Intel ICH2, but that's only used by a CDROM.
Disks connected:
ad4: 39205MB <Maxtor 6E040L0/NAR61590> [79656/16/63] at ata2-master
UDMA100
ad6: 39205MB <Maxtor 6E040L0/NAR61590> [79656/16/63] at ata3-master
UDMA100
I have them set up in a RAID1
I have tried this on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE, and 6-CURRENT (from today)
with similar results.
I also tried with RAID0, and that showed the same results*2, that is,
ca. 7MB/s write instead of 3.5MB/s.
I have no previous experience with this hardware on other OS'es, so I'm
not sure what to expect, but I'm pretty sure it should be better than
this :)
dmesg included below.
Doing simple tests show very poor write performance:
(reboot)
# dd if=/dev/zero of=fill bs=1m count=2000
2000+0 records in
2000+0 records out
2097152000 bytes transferred in 588.383886 secs (3564258 bytes/sec)
(reboot)

2000+0 records out
