zfs discuss - Oct 2007 - ZFS+native SATA

I''ve finally gotten around to upgrading my ZFS file server to build 72
and I must say I''m impressed with the performance boost provided by the
new nVidia SATA driver.

I had noticed a drop in bonnie++ performance once the pool started to
fill up, but with the new drive its is better than the original fresh
performance.

With a stripe of 4 2 way mirrors (Seagate320GB 16M drives) block write
is now 270MB/s (up from 228) and block read 428MB/s (up from 296).
