Still I would argue that if you do not use a write size larger than what you have as real memory, that buffering in real memory is going to play a role.... Other than that I find 50Mb/s is IMHO reasonable high value for a RAID5 in writting. But it would require substantial more organised testing. DD is nothing more than a very crude indication of what to expect in real life. --WjWReceived on Sun May 08 2005 - 10:26:02 UTC
