FreeBSD 7 amd64.
3ware 8006-2LP storage controller.
2x Hitachi HDS721075K drives
UFS, softupdates.
Blogbench was used as a benchmark tool.
- RAID 1, UFS, Softupdates, noatime
Final score for writes: 347
Final score for reads : 62382
- RAID 0, UFS, Softupdates, noatime
Final score for writes: 504
Final score for reads : 65850
Is it really worth using a RAID 0 array?
And while I was at it, I tried UFS vs ZFS, also with blogbench, on a JBOD array.
- UFS, Softupdates, noatime
Final score for writes: 403
Final score for reads : 66177
- ZFS, prefetch_disable=0, noatime, nocompress
Final score for writes: 339
Final score for reads : 39167
- ZFS, prefetch_disable=1, noatime, nocompress
Final score for writes: 338
Final score for reads : 49820
