It looks very similar to the rebadged Adaptec that Sun shipped in the
X4150 I ordered a few weeks ago, though the Sun model had only 256MB of
cache RAM. I was wary of going Adaptec after my experiences with the
PERC/3i, which couldn't even seem to manage a single disk's worth of
read performance from a RAID-1 array, but I was pleasantly surprised by
this card. I'm only running a RAID-1 array on it, with 2 146GB 10krpm
SAS drives, but I was impressed with the read performance -- it seems
quite happy to split sequential reads across the two disks.
Here are the bonnie++ numbers I took during my run-in testing:
Version 1.03 ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input-
--Random-
-Per Chr- --Block-- -Rewrite- -Per Chr- --Block--

membrane 16 19496 97 +++++ +++ 14220 68 7673 40 +++++ +++
5246 26
I'm not sure if I'd yet be comfortable running a larger array for a
database on an Adaptec card, but it's definitely a great improvement on
the earlier Adaptec hardware I've used.
Thanks
