Explain this?

I was in for a surprise when playing around with my new Dell PowerEdge...


But this makes no sense. I'm using WD Caviar Blue 160GB SATA drives in mirrored RAID on a DELL SAS RAID card...

Re: Explain this?

Not sure what you think makes no sense, your getting 317.3 MB/s and 2.63 ms access time which is fine based on what little information you have provided about your system.

317!!!!! That's better than the SSD in my laptop! I've never seen any hard drive do that!!!
That's what I do not understand! I'm runny crappy drives that weren't even supposed to do RAID in mirrored RAID on a 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo, and I get the fastest speeds I've ever seen?

the RAID controller is cacheing.
