Velociraptor Raid 0.....Round 2!

kwikgta · Feb 1, 2013, 11:03 PM

Six Velociraptors in Raid0! Smokin!

NdMk2o1o · Feb 1, 2013, 11:05 PM

Holy f**k, how many raptors have you got in that array? 900+MB/s is very nice for HDD's

kwikgta · Feb 1, 2013, 11:10 PM

Thanks! I have 6 of the new 500 gigs.

drdeathx · Feb 1, 2013, 11:26 PM

The amount you spent, you could have gotten a Revo II drive and been faster and better performance. The access time on your drives is a meager 5.5ms. Great results though.

He wouldn't of got 3TB worth of storage with the revodrive though would he? or half as much of the fun of raiding 6 velociraptors

kwikgta · Feb 1, 2013, 11:36 PM

I've spent $630,so cost was not a concern. I'll run the 6 Raptors until I decide to get something else, then each of my kids will get an upgrade of 2 Velociraptors each in their computers.

Could you run Crystalmark and post the results? Interesed in 4K and 4KQ2 scores

QD scores are low..... you could post a screenie too to make it easier. 1 SSD still offers better all around performance..IMO

kwikgta · Feb 1, 2013, 11:53 PM

You're missing the point. I DO NOT want an ssd right now. I bought these to be different, have a little fun, and then pass them to kids computers when I decide to upgrade.

I was just making a comment. I saw your pupose. Hope you had fun doing it. Looks fun.

Did some tweaking....new best.

Mindweaver · Feb 2, 2013, 03:08 PM

I'd be curious to see what kind of speeds you would get with a RAID 10.

Never used it....what would it gain me?

Kreij · Feb 3, 2013, 03:59 PM

Redundancy, 3 drives in RAID0 being mirrored (RAID1) to the other 3 drives in RAID0.
Would be a fun little exercise, but it would not be as fast as having all 6 in RAID0.

Liquid Cool · Feb 3, 2013, 04:21 PM

I actually appreciate threads like this. SSD's are all that and a cup of coffee...but....I miss the sound of my raided arrays crunching away. Perhaps it's just for nostalgia sake, or I'm old fashioned...I don't know.

I've got a couple of 80gb Raptors from HP lying around...and after looking at them on ebay, I can buy them for 20-30 bucks, I may just get motivated to playing around with a raid array myself.

Please continue to post your experiences with your setup, I for one...enjoy reading threads along this line.

I have an extra(well many extras)LGA 775 socket set ups lying around, I'll probably do it in one of these. What are the specs of the pc you're using?

Best,

Liquid Cool

Thanks a lot

I've had a blast playing with the raid set up. I'm not sure what else I could do other than maybe add one of those 512 cache raid controller cards. They are expensive and really not sure what it would gain me over my onboard raid. My system specs are in my signature.

Hmmmmm... my server has 8 10k 147gb SAS drives maybe I should see what they can do in a raid 0.
