Linux HW and SW RAID Benchmarked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the how-is-your-norse dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Norwegian site has written up an article with various RAID solutions benchmarked using both bonnie++ and dbench. The result shows a lot of surprises, especially when comparing low end sw RAID with high end hw RAID. The text is in Norwegian but the numerous graphs are self explanatory. It does look like a few kernel drivers need a little tweaking."

    Anyone know an internet translator that supports Norwegian? Or even a Norwegian? It would be nice to have a translation so we don't have to sit around making uninformed comments about what we can't understand...

    Oh, wait...

      I think "Jeg vil rette en advarsel til alle dere som skal ut å handle kontrollere etter dette. Sjekk_nøye_om kontrolleren er støttet av kjernen! " speaks for itself.

      Let me help. Apparently, software RAID is slower than hardware RAID, and Linux SCSI drivers are of variable quality, and also setting a PC on fire degrades its disk performance.

    From TFA: To innebygde gigabit-nettverkskort

    That is just the coolest; I am hereby recommending everyone refer to networking as 'nettverkskort'. It might be cold in Norway, but they have some awesome sounding linguistic constructions!

    PS - What the heck is nettverkskort, exactly? 'Networking'? 'Network Adapter'? Heck, I don't know what it is; I just know I like it.

    Actually, there is a typo in the article:

    Støter RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 og 50.
    should be:
    Støtter RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 og 50.
