I'm going thru a hardware change and I had some free time so I thought I'd benchmark some different RAID arrays and compare the numbers. I'm no disk storage system guru so I'm sure there are better ways of doing this but all I did was run each array through HDTach and post the results. I used a seperate Seagate HDD to run the OS while running these drives on the system in the sig. Hope this helps somebody...
