2CPU.com heeft een review gepost van de Promise FastTrak66 ATA66 RAID controller. Real world performance nam volgens de schrijver merkbaar toe bij gebruik van 2 drives in striping mode:
Well, the numbers themselves leave me with mixed feelings. Although there is a definite difference in the benchmarks (look particularly at the "Physical Benchmarks" which present a more realistic view), I don't think it really shows the "real world" speed of this setup. I actually noticed a significant difference in the speed at which my machine booted, and my apps (Photoshop, FrontPage, etc) loaded much faster than ever before. Since everyone screams for benchmarks, here they are (click for a larger image). I used Norton's "System Information" Logical and Physical benchmarks for these tests and I will add Winbench scores as soon as I have time.
De prijs van de FastTrak kan een probleempje zijn: in Nederland betaal je 375,- piek voor dat ding, terwijl hij in de US voor minder dan 100 dollar te krijgen is.
