this LSI 9280 8i raid card and if you're a student enough you'll be able to see in the background of the card itself you can see I've got the battery backup unit here as well as the uh the key that gives me access to their fast path fast path feature which is optimizing for ssds as well as cash Cade which uses ssds to optimize the performance of your hard drive array so I promised you monster numbers I have finally come through sorry it's taken so long to get this together but there you have it when you raid together eight ocz vertex 2 60 gig drives they are capable of achieving 1.3 gab per second read that's a sequential read so it's not all that indicative of performance but it's still quite impressive now bear in mind I did promise you guys uh more than anything else more than 1 GB pers second read speeds so that's what I have optimized all of my RAID settings for you can see are eight identical ocz vertex 2 drives here and they are running very randomly off of the controller here so I've got these long cables just running all over the place but uh yeah bear in mind like I said I could be optimizing for certain other uh other performance but what I've really gone for here is massive sequential reads and uh it has finally been achieved so just for comparison one of these ssds alone is capable of about 260 g megabytes per second read actually hold on let me just uh find that 285 285 so you pair together or throw together eight and we're really reaching the maximum of what a raid card like this can provide which is actually one of the best raid cards on the market in terms of SSD performance so if you were using a lesser raid card uh or in fact okay why don't we start with onboard raid if you're using onboard raid that is i1r the RAID controller built into your Intel motherboard you're going to cap out around 600 mb per so adding a high-end dedicated controller like this Nets you as you can see much better performance so it doesn't matter how many you hook up past about three you're not going to get any additional scaling whereas with this particular card we can keep going all the way up to the maximum number of connectors we have and we continue to get better performance now some other raid cards will scale again better than onboard but not quite this well so this is one of the best examples uh big thanks to LSI for helping us do this little uh
