Performance in WinBench99

We will finish our review session of the Silicon Image SiI3124 controller with the WinBench test package measuring the HDD performance when we work with desktop applications.

Let’s compare the speeds of different arrays in two integral subtests: Business Disk WinMark and High-End Disk WinMark:

As we have expected, the first two positions were taken by the RAID 0 arrays of three and four drives. Strange as it might seem, but the mirrored RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays outperformed quite significantly a single HDD and RAID 0 array of two drives respectively.
