ATTO transfer rates - Write 16MB
Will 3ware's write transfer woes continue when we up the total transfer size to 16MB?

Yes. Again, the Escalade turns in a weak write transfer rate performance and posts the lowest scores across the board. Even if you average out the 2400A's RAID 1 score, the Escalade 7500 is still slower.

The 16MB results are really all over the place. The 2400A actually turns in the best performance in two-drive RAID 0, while the FastTrak tops the heap in four-drive RAID 0, RAID 10/0+1, and RAID 5. The RocketRAID 133 is the only card to best single-drive performance in RAID 1.

As the test results pile up, patterns are emerging. It's getting a lot easier to spot each card's strengths and weaknesses. We have one more benchmark suite to get to, so let's continue.
