Chipset Serial ATA RAID Performance Exposed

Posted by Hemos on from the learn-all-about-it dept.

TheRaindog writes "Serial ATA RAID has become a common check-box feature for new motherboards, but The Tech Report's chipset Serial ATA and RAID comparison reveals that the performance of Intel, NVIDIA, SiS, and VIA's SATA RAID implementations can be anything but common. There are distinct and sometimes alarming performance differences between each chipset's Serial ATA and RAID implementations. It's also interesting to see performance scale from single-drive configurations to multi-disk arrays, which don't offer as much of a performance gain in day-to-day applications as one might expect."

  7. Same Thing as the video industry by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is basically the same thing as what happened in the video industry a while back...there were competing technologies for video cassettes, VHS and Beta. Of course, the better quality tape, Beta, got left behind because VHS, which is visibly worse, was not as compatable.

    This Raid concept is the exact same thing, and I won't be surprised when Serial ATA becomes mainstream.

    I'll just ignore you I think since you wrote two paragraphs and then in the third completely negated your entire statement. Typical quality of slashdot posts these days.....
