Than before you mean ? Can you by chance do >a bonnie on the individual drive on an ata33 controller >bonnie on the same drives in RAID0, RAID1 ? My initial tests were off the MB controller. I will post all the details and configuration when i have all the results, but basically I did some bonnie test on 3 drives. 1 7200RPM ATA66 and 2 5400RPM ATA66. I did 256MB and 1000MB tests. The reason I only did one 7200RPM is because I had not installed the second 7200RPM by the time of the test. The 5400RPM were set on a RAID 1 and the 7200RPM on a RAID 0. I have yet another 3Ware card that I have to install this weekend (a 2 port). I am hoping to have all tests by monday somewhere on a web page for all interested. I would also welcome suggestions for tests.. although it is a bit late since now I built the array.. but I have more computers coming with 3ware that I may need to re-do. I tried looking at the ports and Bonnie seems the most appropiate. I tried a couple of others and either didn't like them or the results were not very good... ie. the byte "native" tests has 2 comparison numbers from supposedly previous tests and the faster CPU had slower marks, yet my machine which was faster than both had higher numbers. In other words a faster CPU is supposed to have higher number, yet their reference machines failed that principle. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
