We wrote about Areca's and HighPoint's HW-RAID controllers some weeks ago: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2008-August/005339.html Now I've tested the HighPoint RocketRAID 3120 controller with two Samsung 320GB SATA (HD322HJ) harddisks under FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE with the bonnie++ harddisk benchmark and the following modes: JBOD: http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/bonnie_JBOD.html RAID1: http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/bonnie_RAID1.html RAID0: http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/bonnie_RAID0.html I don't know the controllers from Areca but I think the reached values are O.K. Anyhow, the performance is better than with my old 3ware 8006-2LP PCI controller. Tested filesystem was: UFS2 with enabled Soft Updates. ------ Under Vista 64 (Benchmark: HD Tune): http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/Vista_HDTune_Benchmark_HPT_____DISK_0_0_JBOD.png http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/Vista_HDTune_Benchmark_HPT_____DISK_0_0_RAID1.png http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/Vista_HDTune_Benchmark_HPT_____DISK_0_0_RAID0.png One Samsung HD322HJ @ ICH9R onboard controller: http://net.razik.de/HPT_RR_3120/Vista_HDTune_Benchmark_SAMSUNG_HD322HJ.png ------ Regards, Lukas PS: bonnie++ : http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++ http://www.hdtune.com/
