RAID 1 finally reveals some performance differences between the FastTrak and MegaRAID. In the Workstation, File Server, and Database tests, the FastTrak consistently scores slightly better under linear and light loads, while the MegaRAID takes the lead under moderate and heavy loads. In the random write test, the FastTrak's RAID1 array exhibits little performance difference from a single drive while the MegaRAID, for whatever reason, performs significantly worse. The story changes in the sequential write test, where the MegaRAID performs similarly to a single-drive configuration, while the FastTrak turns in a horrendous 1MB/sec (a potentially questionable result).
