If I get the offshelf LSI Megaraid withe the same configuration? You don't want to know... it will just make you want to cry at the factthatyou bought a Dell.I agree there's better platforms out there than Dell, but the above is simply not true for the 2950. Raid 5, dd, on 6 disks, I get about 260Mb/s sustained writes. Granted, this should be faster, but... it's a far cry from 8 or 50MB/s. I posted some numbers here a while back on the2950, so you might want to dig those out of the archives.
Well these are 3 year old machines, they could have improved a bit but it is quite true for the version of the Dells I have. I can duplicate it on both machines.
Frankly Dell has a *long* way to go to prove to me that they are a quality vendor for Server hardware.
