My current 4 x 2TB 7200 rpm SAS drives in RAID 10 don't seem to be cutting the mustard anymore for my backup storage doing reverse incrementals and I'm looking at upgrading to something faster. I have a LSI 9266-8i card with Cachecade and I'm curious if anyone has done any testing with CacheCade and reverse incrementals and what their thoughts were on it.
Thanks!

Re: LSI CacheCade Thoughts
Hi,
I didn't knew about Cachecade until I read it from you so i browsed a little about it. We have at our own datacenter some NAS created with supermicro servers and LSI controllers compatible with Cachecade, and since we were looking at ways to improve speed on those huge&cheap sata storages, this could be for sure a good solution.
If I'm going to test it I will for sure report back, thanks.

You've probably already got this covered, but just in case...5150cd wrote:My current 4 x 2TB 7200 rpm SAS drives in RAID 10 don't seem to be cutting the mustard anymore for my backup storage doing reverse incrementals and I'm looking at upgrading to something faster.

Thanks!
Be sure you're running the latest patch for 6.1. There's specific improvements with transforms that might also help.
