I ordered 3 Hitachi 500GB sata3 HDD's that will be used in raid5 on a LSI 9240-4i controller. Before they go on that controller I decided to try a drive on the Marvell 9182 controller and see how they pared with the older sata2 HDD's. From the first test a Sata3 HDD as a single drive offers very little increase over sata2 HDD's. The true test will come when I can test the Hitachi's in raid0 and 5. Those test will be done on the LSI9240-4i I will redo the single drive test at that time also but doubt we will see any difference.
So here is the Hitachi 500GB sata3 drive compaired to the Samsung 320GB sata2 drive.
