3ware 9500S-8 SATA RAID Controller Review

We resume testing multi-channel SATA-RAID controller cards. Today we are going to introduce to you a not very new, but certainly revolutionary solution from 3ware – 3ware 9500S-8 controller. It truly deserves the “revolutionary” title. It is for the first time in many years that 3ware used a replaceable SDRAM module with ECC support instead of a few megabytes of SRAM. The controller cache-memory has finally become comparable with the summary of cache buffer memory of the hard disk drives that can be attached to the controller.
