Default Re: Comprehensive RAID performance report

trouble with RAID 5 is that although the burst speed can be very high (i've seen upto 500mb/s with 4 drives) the sustained write is normally much lower than that of a single drive.

Mind you, the performance of RAID 5 can depend very heavily on the actual controller card used.

What the heck is RAID1x2 anyway?
