SAS RAID 5 vs SATA RAID 5. Read and write performance.
Testing conducted by Apple in February 2009 using preproduction Mac Pro 8-core 2.93GHz units and preproduction Mac Pro RAID Card. Testing was conducted using Iometer 2006.07.27 with a 30-second ramp-up, 5-minute run duration, 512KB request size, and 4 outstanding IOs. The test system was configured in a two-volume configuration with a single JBOD drive for the OS and the remaining three drives as the test volume on which Iometer tests were performed. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Pro RAID Card.
