Dell PowerEdge 4200/300, 96MB RAM, 3 9GB Seagate Barracuda SCA drives
DPT PM3334UW w/64MB cache

FreeBSD 2.2.6
DPT kernel options: DPTOPT
                    DPT_MEASURE_PERFORMANCE
                    DPT_FREELIST_IS_STACK
 
i created an array group with the dos util 'dptmgr' from default
settings.
 
using IOZONE and Bonnie, i create a 128MB file for read/write
benchmarking.
 
i am aware of the performance implications of RAID-5, but I am getting
about 2MByte/sec max write transfer rate compared with 19MByte/sec on
reads.
 
For a pci ultrawide controller, are these figures suspect? What kind of
write performance hit should one expect w/RAID-5 ?


Thanks,
   -bh
