This seemed surprising fast for an HD753LJ which uses the 250GB platters.
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
Looks about right compared to other peoples posts.

What a waste, from the graphs it looks like your interface to the drives is causing a bottleneck.
I figure there must be something limiting me there, that isnt the disks. Does anyone have any suggestions
RAID will work well in sequential access where the drive content is unfragmented, it's random access that will kill RAID5 figures.
I've checked the configuration for my PCI-X slot and the speed is set to maximum. I then looked up some specs for my SCSI cable and even though it supports U320 the rated speed is only 150mb per second which correlates with the graph for the 15k drives.
Can anyone recommend a decent SCSI cable that I can purchase?

Do this look OK for 2x 500GB in RAID0 (onboard ICH9R)?

Very very poor performance of the western digital, I'd have thought the Maxtor would've been the weakest, quite surprising that!

Test setup:
Intel E6300
Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro
2 x 1gb Kingston DDR2-533
Hitachi T7K250
SAS controller:
Adaptec 4805SAS without BBU
Performance of 2 individual Seagate Savvios 15k.1
Performance of both in Raid 0 with stripe size of 64kb (did 2 tests)

But using 53% of CPU.. not much point in sustained transfer if your CPU spends all it's time doing disk I/O..
Also all the benches here are sequential read.. so they're the maximum performance you can get. It would be interesting to see their random access performance..

From my Eee PC 900. As you can see the smaller 4GB onboard drive seems faster.

For months and months i've been informed via email of comments on this thread. Ultimately i have came to the conclusion that:
A. I really don't care about Hard disk speed anymore, it matters not!
B. You lot shouldn't either, get out in the sun!
