Performance chart for all IBM RAID controllers?

[arkitek]

Greetings,

I'm looking to purchase an IBM Raid controller for one of our IBM eSeries 360 server. I can't seem to find any performance data comparison for all the IBM RAID controllers to base a decision on. Anyone can help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you should go for CRAY XD1, its little costly but it will give you rocket speed. Its only $50K for 12 CPU.
My company is planning for that in bigger upgrade coming in 3rd quarter.
Anyway look for CRAY, I think company is on sale in Market. Even if you buy stock it may double your money.

What are you trying to do with the system? How many drives are you going to attach? The cards to look at would include 6M, 4Mx, 4Lx and 4H. I would probably focus on the first two and let your checkbook guide the way.

wow..better late than never. Thanks guys.
went with the 6M as it's the fastest of IBM supposedly.
