Re <hard drives and ram-bs> As I have noted before, the quoted disk performance numbers of 113MB/s and 358MB/s both significantly exceed both UDMA bus speed and the disk head rate. This apparently means that the benchmark is dealing primarily with so-called Disk File Cache that resides in main memory. By changing the size of the disk cache and/or cache read/write policy, you can make up almost any number with that "benchmark". It has nothing to do with RMAbus or any mysterious "optimization". The last straw of jim kelley has sunk.
