With 1mb files and larger the LSI 9260-8i really starts to shine. Most interesting are the random read/write values for ICH10R; it takes a huge hit in performance.

With the 1mb file size the hard drive tests started to look a bit bizarre. The sequential tests are completely disk-bound but the random tests for some reason were repeatedly all over the place. I can't explain why the Adaptec 5805 consistently performed terribly in 1mb random writes as it more or less matched the LSI 9260-8i in random reads and write in the SSD tests.
