The SuperTrak's RAID 01 Workstation, File Server, and Database scores place higher than that of a single drive, though not nearly as high as hoped. Random write performance increase significantly, while sequential write performance decreases somewhat.

The Escalade, on the other hand, performs very well in RAID 10. Its Workstation, File Server, and Database performance even tops its 3-drive RAID 0 showing. This again displays TwinStor's effectiveness.

Unsurprisingly, random write performance isn't quite as high, but still much higher than a single drive. Sequential write performance remains about the same, as expected.
