Benchmarking HDD RAID Performance – 2223 days old

[OddSku]

Can anyone recommend a program for benching SATAII RAID performance? There are too many for me to sort out.....

Two programs that I use are the ATTO disk benchmark test which can be had at:

The other program I've used is HDTach, although it no longer is free, I believe it has a 14 day trial period. If you can find ver 2.7 somewhere, it was freeware.

Thanks, Alakazam...This is from the Atto program; is it good, bad, ?????

OddSku, change your transfer size to .5---1024 kb and the total length to 32 mb, and rerun the test, it's what most of the guys have tested at. I found an old thread that has a lot of posts from the ATTO benchmarks in it, some are really old and on slow machines compared to todays marvels. There are several raid machines in there for comparison, have a look here:
