Let’s see how the results change once we switch to FAT32 file system:

Hm… RAID 0 arrays of three and four HDDs won their first prizes again. The last position of RAID 1 array in this test is also pretty logical. But why the third result appeared by the single hard disk drive, remains a good question to answer.

Since the linear read speeds are the same for NTFS and FAT32 file systems, we will provide only one chart for both of them:

And in conclusion here are the linear read graphs for all the arrays considered in this test session:

• Linear read graph for JBOD (1 HDD);
• Linear read graph for RAID0 (2 HDDs);
• Linear read graph for RAID1 (2 HDDs);
• Linear read graph for RAID0 (3 HDDs);
• Linear read graph for RAID0 (4 HDDs);
• Linear read graph for RAID10 (4 HDDs).
