I was curious if you have for example 5 PCI-e x8 slots:
1. 2x sata port card
2. 2x sata port card
3. 2x sata port card
4. 2x sata port card
5. 2x sata port card
Would that be faster than:
1. 16port 3ware (or) 16port areca
drives -> jbod
Does anyone here use SW RAID on the second configuration with 10,000 rpm
drives or more than ~10 drives in a RAID5? If so what kind of read/write
speed do you achieve? I am curious if a single card with that many ports,
even running jbod can really push the bandwidth you achieve by splitting
the drives up over multiple PCI-e slots as shown in the first example.
Justin.
