SerialATA RAID performance comparison

These are my PC Mark scores running regular ATA and SerialATA RAID 0 setups. The same drives where used for both tests(WD 80GB 8mb cache) with the regular ATA running off a Adaptec 1200A raid card and the serialATA running on the onboard Silicon Image controller using Serillel 2 adapters.

Silicon Image Serial ATA 1749

Adaptec ATA 1418

So, there you have it, the serialATA adapters work like a charm and are able to pull some more performance out of the same drives.

Great scores man! I've been looking around and it seems those Maxtor drives are slightly faster than the WDs. Pretty cool indeed.


@BiGBrOWnPimpsta, Do you mean how much more do SATA drives cost? At the moment I know of one native SATA drive, the WD Raptor, which is limited to 36GB and costs about $135 online. In it's defence it does spin at 10k rpm but it's still pretty darn expensive for it's size. Next year, the prices, availability and sizes should be alot better.

Is 1260 a good score for a 40g 7200rpm ATA 100 w/ a 2mb cach on an old AMD 761/via 686b motherboard?

Yeah man, that's a sweet score. I couldn't break 1100 with a WD 8mb drive.

I've only run pcmark a few times- the time I got that 1260 was the day I got my HD last year and I had win98se all tweaked. I just ran it again and I only got 824 - I'm sure I could improve on that if I wanted to, but It's just weird I got that really good score back then.

1260 824 Hmmm, weird.

***Does it test all your HD's? Because I have 1 slow one in there for extra storage.

How come those don't seem to do too well in PCMark?

I got 1311 about 6 weeks ago, with my IBM drive (2MB cache) on SiS735 mobo:

PS: Darksider, that score is insane

Indeed it is.

I just wonder how they score when in RAID 0 off from something like the ICH5R Southbridge. Mine is off from a Promise Fasttrak 376 chip on my motherboard.
