Here's the info: ~/bin $ sudo ./drivescan.sh Controller device @ pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0 [ahci] SATA controller: nVidia Corporation MCP79 AHCI Controller (rev b1) host0: /dev/sda ATA Corsair CSSD-F60 {SN: 10326505580009990027} host1: /dev/sdb ATA WDC WD20EARS-00M {SN: WD-WCAZA1022443} host2: /dev/sdc ATA WDC WD20EARS-00M {SN: WD-WMAZ20152590} host3: /dev/sdd ATA WDC WD20EARS-00M {SN: WD-WMAZ20188479} host4: [Empty] host5: [Empty] Controller device @ pci0000:00/0000:00:16.0/0000:05:00.0 [sata_mv] SCSI storage controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RocketRAID 230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller (rev 02) host6: [Empty] host7: /dev/sde ATA SAMSUNG HD204UI {SN: S2HGJ1RZ800964 } host8: /dev/sdf ATA WDC WD20EARS-00M {SN: WD-WCAZA1000331} host9: /dev/sdg ATA SAMSUNG HD204UI {SN: S2HGJ1RZ800850 } It's all SATA 3Gbs. OK, so from what you're saying I should see significantly better results on a better CPU? The HDDs should be able to push 80MB/s (read or write), and that should yield at least 5*80 = 400MB/s (-1 for parity) on easy (sequential?) reads. // Mathias -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
