Now it’s high time we passed over to WebServer pattern:

The performance of RAID 0 array is another proof of Promise controllers efficiency. They speed up the disk subsystem quite tangibly, I should say.

Integral performance coefficients show that our disk array is more than 1.5 times faster when working with Promise controllers than in case of ITE IT8212F and VIA VT6410.

When we shift to RAID 1 array nothing actually changes compared with what we have already seen in case of RAID 0. The only improvement, is that the controllers work somewhat faster compared with their performance in RAID 0.

The overall performance indexes of our RAID array indicate that the disk subsystem is 1.5 times faster when working with Promise controller solutions than with ITE IT8212F and VIA VT6410.
