Saw a review last night of the Areca cards vs the latest 3ware. The
areca cards were about twice as fast, but the article says that they
are about twice as expensive (or something on that area). :-(
OK, I finally got the RAM for a server that will be in my lab for
another week before going out to a customers. I was going to test
out the 9500SX and Areca using a bunch of different programs from the
simple (dd) to not quite so simple (one of our large radius data sets
in mysql) and see how things compare. Anyone have any requests for
me to run ? The only thing I will change on the box is an Areca for
the 9500SX. Other than that, the hardware will be the same.
bonnie, iozone, bonnie++. Apps I will load up will be mysql.
