It's not easy to retry now because the 4 disks attached to the sil3114 controller are half of the raidz2 mirror... but in the previous home server that I had, this controller had 3 * 320gb disks attached to it where I had a raidz1 pool. With dclarke's test it easily got 50MB/s in the first (mad :) writing test. So I think it's pretty fast for the price and for the fact that's sata 1.0 and pci33 (those little no-brand cards are the cheapest you can find online or at local computer fairs) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
