yup ,now @ 3 drives
Perc 5/i with Fujitsu 15k SAS RAID 0
Well I thought it would be faster than this
but here are the best benchmarks I can get. Running the latest LSI Firmware (version 7.0.1-0064) and latest Dell 64-bit Vista driver.
Disks = 2 x Fujitsu MAX3073RC 73.5GB SAS drives (http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/storage/hdd/enterprise/max3147-sas.html).
Raid Level = 0
Stripe Size = 64K
Read Policy = No Read Ahead
Write Policy = Write Thru
IO Policy = Direct IO
Disk Cache Policy = Enable
Changing the above settings doesn't seem to make much difference.
Ideas on a postcard please

Ok I have now changed to the following settings which have increased performance slightly in HDTune.
Read Policy = Adaptive Read Ahead
Write Policy = Write Thru
IO Policy = Direct IO
Disk Cache Policy = Enabled
Stick write back on there, I seem to recall it boosting my reads as well for some reason. Not to mention it will improve your Writes no end.
It also helps to go into options on HDTune and turn up accuracy and the block size.
check my Perc 5/i benches and settings here:

Hi all,
Here's my 2x 500gb Barracuda's in RAID 0 on ICH10R conroller against my 2 x OCZ core v2 30gb's.

SAS on the ASUS P6T Deluxe
2 x 300GB Hitachi Ultrastar 15K300 RAID 0 64K stripe
Is there any way to improve burst & lift the 175MB/s cap?

Hey,
Check my posts above, I had quite a low burst rate until I turned on Adaptive Read Ahead. Now getting approx 330MB/s burst instead of the 110MB/s I was getting with No Read Ahead.

I'm running Linux, so apologies for the odd benchmark. This was done with the sudo hdparm -tT benchmark. It's based on three Seagate Barracuda ES.2 250GB drives in Raid 0. Feels quite fast. A single disk gave a read speed around the 100 MB/sec mark. My old Raptor 76GB gave a read speed of around 69 MB/sec.
Cool I gave this a go on my Xen hosted Openfiler server -
Its a Dell T105 with two drives, the drive tested below is a Samsung Spinpoint F1 750GB SATA.

I might be getting 3x320gb Sammy F1 drives for a RAID 0 setup...I'll be using my ICH10R onboard my P5Q deluxe....just wondering if anyone has any tips for getting the best performance? What sort of stripe size do I use? I was thinking of 16kb for fast game loading and such
