LSI MegaRAID SATA and SAS 9260-8i RAID Card Review @ Legit Reviews

Here is someting that might interest the guiys with extremely deep pockets and the need for seious Hard Drive speed. Using an Adaptec and a LSI RAID controller card to push the limits for the throughput of a SSD to incredible speeds.

"Besides the small file random read/write the LSI 9260-8i surpassed the Adaptec 5805 in nearly all the SSD tests while the two cards were roughly equal in the HDD tests. What really helps the LSI 9260-8i is the SAS/SATA 6Gbps support enabling maximum performance on upcoming storage drives. This will be quite important with SATA 6Gbps SSDs easily pushing 500MB/s in sequential reads. It is a close call between the two cards but consideration must also be taken regarding firmware maturity. The Adaptec 5805 has been on the market for a while but the LSI 9260-8i is still relatively immature. There is a possibility that the small file random read/write performance could be bolstered, making the Adaptec 5805 effectively obsolete..."
