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."

    Ok, who the fuck allowed this submission to go through? A whole 2% of Slashdot readership will probably be able to read this, the rest of us are left in the dark. Are longer bars better, or worse? WTFOMGBBQ?!

    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...

    Somehow, I don't think a translation would keep them away.

    Take the following, randomly selected paragraph from the article:


    LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-1.
    Low-profile kontroller. Har både intern og ekstern kontakt for tilkobling av SCSI-kabel. Bruker også en Intel GC80302- prosessor. Støter RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 og 50.


    Now, give it to a non-Norwegian speaking geek, and a non-Geek Norwegian speaker.

    Who do you think will have more luck making heads or tails of it?
