Hi there folx,
Who are Today's Fastest ? :)
I mean the combination of motherboard/SCSI HD/SCI adapter
that delivers max perfomance ? max read/write speed etc ?
I have different values here on ASUS 133/166 Mhz P5,
150/200Mhz PPro machines( with mucho deprecated PCI set)
and RAID Arrays.
For example
(command is: dd if=/dev/rsd0a of=/dev/null count=200 bs=64k)
P166/ASUS/Aha2940(not wide,Seagate):
13107200 bytes transferred in 2 secs (6553600 bytes/sec)
P133(other stuff the same)
52428800 bytes transferred in 8 secs (6553600 bytes/sec)
P6-200Mhz(the same, runs INND and ~130 readers + 2 feeds
at the time of the test):
13107200 bytes transferred in 3 secs (4369066 bytes/sec)
real slow comparing to the "regular" PCI chip like one
in P5 ASUSes
P5-166(Bustec Wide SCSI, Seagate 32250W, under BSDI) -
~8700000 bytes/sec
P6-200 ASUS( hate it!) with RAID array ( all in HW no
special drivers reqd) - only 3Mb/sec !
So ... any1 here has some info on the topic to share?
I'd really like to know read speed on ftp.freebdf.org
( I wasnt able to get Alder here :))
Any considerations of what to do to make the system fly ?
What's the max one saw with Wide Adaptors ? 100Mb ethernet ?
