RAID Initialization Time

We used eight Seagate Savvio 10K.2 hard drives to determine the time needed by the controllers to create a RAID 5 or RAID 6 array.

Controller RAID 5 RAID 6
Adaptec RAID 3805 1 hour 12 minutes 1 hour 2 minutes
Atto 23 minutes n/a
ICP 5085BL 57 minutes 57 minutes
Raidcore RC5252-8 2 hours 42 minutes

Clearly, the cards with the faster XOR accelerators complete the array creation task quickest. However, all products support background initialization, which reduces available performance but lets you start using the array right away.

SATA is _NOT_ full duplex, it's half duplex!

The RC5252-08 Card is awesome. Alot of bang for the buck. This Ciprico group has a grip on a new kind of RAID! Great support too.
