It was with RAID5 that I expected the LSI 9260-8i to really take off. Unfortunately, once again the small file random reads and writes were abysmal at best. Thankfully the sequential reads and writes were competitive and actually a modest improvement over the RAID0 results.

The 4kb RAID5 HDD results were more or less a draw between the two cards with the 5805 slightly leading in only the sequential reads.
