Hello

I'm running NASLITE, and now I can get myself a cheap 2610SA Adaptec controller.

I've tried to read as much as I can about it, and several posts around different forums says that it is slow.

Now I'm hoping someone can tell me how 'slow' it is in terms on MBps.

I'm thinking of both read and write in both RAID5 and plain striping.

Hoping anyone has some numbers.

Also, does anyone know what the maximum drive size and array size is on this aging controller?? Cannot find the specs. on this anywhere.

Thank you

TommyE

I recently set up the 2610SA in RAID5 ( 3 x 320GB segate drives) and did some quick testing. Celeron 2.2GHz, 512RAM, gig ethernet.

Diskwriggler:
Write: 12.6MB/s avg and 18.7MB/s max
Read: 15.3 MB/s avg and 16.2MB/s max
FTP a 1.07GB file took 1:35

I also have a single IDE drive in the NAS and get the following results for comparison.
Write: 9.1MB/s avg and 13.7MB/s max
Read: 22.1MB/s avg and 23.6MB/s max
FTP 1.07GB file took 1:29

Real world use it is fine. Movies stream without problems. You can get these cards for under 100.00 which is a great deal.

Great, thanks.

That was abit slower than I had hoped for, but as you say "Real world use is fine", think I will go for one.

Already ordered three 500GB disks.

Thanks
