Here's a comparison between the drive performance of an IDE drive (on the left-hand side) and a 10K RPM SCSI drive (on the right-hand side) in this system:
what's interesting to note is that the IDE drive outperforms the SCSI drive slightly in some cases, when dealing with smaller files (the first three rows), but the SCSI drive then dominates from there!
Another interesting thing to note is that the IDE drives's read speeds seem to be much faster than it's write speeds and in the SCSI drive's case, its write speeds are slightly better than its read speeds!
I can't wait to see how the U160 SCSI RAID card performs with two 15K RPM drives in a RAID 0 configuration!!!
I recently grabbed a pair of Sata300 PCI cards so I'm going to see how a pair of Velociraptors in Raid 0 perform on my Socket 8, I could go Ultra320 with a pair of 15k SAS drives but I dont have a PCI card that supports them I only have a PCI-X based U320 card. It should work in PCI but it would revert to compatibility mode speeds.
I also love how Velociraptors sound and them 15k SAS drives are hot little Bastards.
