IDE RAID Examined

Posted by chrisd on Wednesday December 4, 2002 @01:18PM from the nicely-done-articles dept.

Bender writes "The Tech Report has an interesting article comparing IDE RAID controllers from four of the top manufacturers. The article serves as more than just a straight product comparison, because the author has included tests for different RAID levels and different numbers of drives, plus a comprehensive series of benchmarks intended to isolate the performance quirks of each RAID controller card at each RAID level. The results raise questions about whether IDE RAID can really take the place of a more expensive SCSI storage subsystem in workstation or small-scale server environments. Worthwhile reading for the curious sysadmin." I personally would love to hear any ide-raid stories that slashdotters might have.

Now Soundgarden was headed for the bottom in track #4, Mailman. Had the clip lasted just a little longer, you'd know that they were riding you all the way, just like the Party back in Soviet Russia.
Hopefully, Chris Cornell hasn't died like Layne Staley and my Alice in Chains post did earlier today...
