PCMark 04 Continued

In the File copy bench, the RAID0 configurations show off the better combined sequential performance, needless to say that the Level5 configuration falls behind by a rather hefty margin but, at least at the lower block size, it is still faster than a single drive on the ICH5-R.


General HDD usage shows pretty much business as usual

We monitored the CPU usage during the PCMark 04 HDD test suite and in most of the applications it was somewhere between 50% and 70% with the File Copy test showing the highest CPU usage as expected, hitting 85% occasionally.
