in all honesty, ssds should be elimated from this forum scores. most ssds will outperform a hdd any day and the title of this forum may i remind you is "post your hdd speeds". also i just wanna be in foruth place lol.
Well true but I think we should just have a separate table for SSD's and HDD's (Maybe: single SSD, SSD in RAID, single HDD, HDD in RAID...).
But anyway here are my results:
Hitachi Ultrastar 15K450 SAS
(4 platters 8 heads, 16MB cache, 3.5'' 450GB 15000RPM)
(Read/write cache is disabled on the controller)
How about making a list of lowest access times for HDD's
3 x Seagate Savvio 10k.2 SAS in RAID0
(2 platters 4 heads, 16MB cache, 2.5'' 146GB each, 10000RPM)
Toshiba MBD2147RC SAS-2 (6Gb/s)
(1 platter 2 heads, 16MB cache,2.5'' 146GB 10000RPM)
I took the following test to show that if caching is enabled ATTO results can be affected, I didn't notice HDTune being affected by cache (only the burst speeds are affected) .
