If you can run them using the 3ware raid and the other raid, I would be interested to see what sort of results you get. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. http://www.redshift.com/~ray/mysql_bench These are my personal benchmarks I use here, but I added a file to try to walk you through stuff and in case you want to share them with anyone else, etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me. Take care! Ray
