But still, 5x Write speed with that module.
I just dont think ppl that bought the 642 without would think.."ohh thats
a okai speed".
I know the acceleration will help in some ways yes, but still.
There really must be something wrong here.


Actually, most ppl who buy a 642 never bother testing disk performance, so
would never notice either way.

For an objective performance, try IOMETER
http://www.iometer.org/
That's the 'standard' for testing disk performance.


what cluster size do you normally test with in IOMETER ?

And yes it seems like you guys really mean that 10MB/s is okai for a
raidcontroller without Battery stuff.
I really dont think they would make a raidcontroller that would perform
so slow?
