12. Closing Thoughts
I'd like to close this review with what I wish I'd done. I wish that:
I had found a way to test software RAID to compare to hardware RAID and no RAID. I'm still worried about the step-by-step of repairing a software-managed RAID array. But, it would be interesting to see the speed hit. Especially across processors (Pentium, Centrino, x64 ...).I wish I'd tested XP Pro with the RAID5 hardware. I have done some informal testing, and it seemed like XP Pro did not have the large file performance hit that Linux has. It is time to go back and get the micrometer out an actually measure.
I wish I'd known to test file system against write and read speeds on large files. That and, I wish I knew how to test file systems!
I wish that I could get all the people posting to the Forumz from the first article to run iozone on their equipment and send me the equipment specifications (NAS and XP test system) and the .wks file that iozone creates.
Hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

This is one of the worst article written on how to install, configure... etc., This is not a source to relying! After following your steps, I was even more confuse. I created an account on clarkconnect as directed and got charged. This is not good.
