that test was flawed. areca's cache is already 2Gb.

it's the same thing with my raid controller with 256Mb, if the test file is 256mb and smaller, my 8x1.5Tb can sustain more than 1GB/s
the moment the test file is greater than 256mb, my system's speed drops to 500+MB/s

they need to use a test file that is greater than 2Gb.

besides that card is PCIe x8. the limit of the bandwidth is exactly 2GB/s
