Nah, a single drive won't saturate SATA (not in the situations I'm testing under, anyway), but a RAID of multiple drives might saturate SAS (not sure yet).

- pmorici 17y agoSo, in your experience motherboards like this one, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4914878&CatId=4720 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-det... that have regular SATA and support "RAID" do you getting 3Gbps total, or 3Gbps on each port?
- coffeemug 17y agoI don't know. We're testing one drive at a time for now, so we don't have very much information on bus saturation. I expect to move on to RAID controllers/Motherboard testing in a month or two.
- wmf 17y agoIntel and Indilinx SSDs are saturating SATA today for sequential reads, but that's generally not why people use SSDs. Ironically, many SAS controllers can handle fewer IOPS than an Intel ICH SATA controller; SAS 2.0 controllers are supposed to be better in this regard.
