Stepping up to 64kb file transfers shows the LSI 9260-8i leading or close to leading the pack in sequential reads/writes but once again lagging behind in random reads/writes. Also of interest is how much more similar the results are with the larger file sizes; ICH10R is no longer the outright winner by a gigantic margin. The Areca 1220 takes a huge beating in the sequential read/write tests. It looks like it is suffering worse than ICH10R as file sizes increase.

Almost a repeat of the 4kb tests, the LSI 9260-8i more or less mirrors the Adaptec 5805 in all tests but the random write test.
