Serial ATA RAID 0

(Using Drives from Hitachi, Maxtor, Seagate)

PAGE ONE of TWO

Originally posted 09/10/03 by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist

In this article, we will compare RAID 0 pairs using three different brands of Serial ATA drives: Hitachi Deskstar 7K250, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9, and Seagate Barracuda 7200.7. In other words, which brand of drives makes the fastest RAID 0?

In addition, we tested RAID 0 pairs of converted Parallel ATA drives (Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP and Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9) using the Addonics PATA-to-SATA adapter.

For a SATA host adapter, we used the FirmTek SeriTek/1S2 Serial ATA PCI card in a G4/1.42GHz MP Power Mac.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 (Drives with "*" have been converted from PATA to SATA.)
