Not shabby for a single drive but...
I wish the small file writes were a little better. I played around more trying to make changes to the scsi mode pages.
These drives are just hell on wheels on the reads. Look at the first few lines of the ATTO. Man if you had an app that read little files or records scattered over a disk this one would just fly.
The cluster size was 16k and this was ntfs with last access time turned on and all the other stuff left on that most people turn off for ntfs performance left on.
Everyone is so frantic about the Raptors but... This is a 36gb drive thats faster then a raptor and I buy them for 60 to 80 bucks.

Best 65 to 70 buck drive in the world.

Tex, have you tried them out in any raid array? If I do decide to purchase those (instead of the Raptors) I'll most likely put them in an array.
Yes of course I've had them raided. I only have like 3 at the moment as I sold four to a guy last month.
This one had four of the Atlas and a pair of slower IBM's for example. Depening on what your pci type is the adapter choice is probbaly more critical then the drives.
The sandra you will notice bypassed the windows cache and still hit a 2ms average acess.
