Hi
I have a Z820 PC.
I have purchased a 12Gb/s 9361-8i 2Gb LSI Megaraid Card with Cachevault .
Ok so the dilemma !
Both the ST4000NM0035 sata or ST4000NM0025 SAS have max sequential of approx 210MB/s.
The ST4000NM0035 sata is 6Gb/s
The ST4000NM0025 SAS is 12Gb/s
I am of the belief that when I connect 8 of ( either ) of these in Raid 0 it will equal 8 x read and 4-6 x write .
I know this because I have a z800 with 9285-8e and 8 x 2tb HDDs .
So back to the dilemma , basically it’s cheaper for me to buy the 6Gb/s drives so I can’t see what benefits I would get from the 12Gb/s drives
Can anyone with knowledge of this please help out, if the read and write speeds will be “ approx” the same then how will the 12Gb/s drives benifit me with the 12Gb/s LSI MegaRAID card ?
