Don't think Intel fabs anything in China.

Intel infact does have a fab in China but they dont make anything you or I want to buy. Basically according UN technology rules you cant sell products above a certain level in some countries, China is one of them. They essentially make P4 era parts over there, mostly stuff thats used in embedded systems and machinery.

You need to do some drive benches with those red series drives and post the performance pls

I'll see if I have some time to run ATTO with them, they are just connected to 4 of the 6 available ports on the MVG (2 SATA2 and 2 SATA3) they are setup in a RAID5 with 64kb cluster (stripe size?) and 64kb allocation in Windows

Totally jealous of that storage Janus.
Congrats on the board Chance!

I think I was limited by the SATA2 bottleneck (as two drives are on SATA2 and 2 on SATA3)
Here's ATTO results (with default settings). If anyone has any advice I'm all ears (would prefer to change things now before I start copying data to it, as right now the volume is essentially empty)

Interesting these must be sata6 drives, the read performance is certainly impressive the write performance in places not so much. If i remember correctly these are aimed at NAS devices which mostly frequent reads not writes quite so much since the software layer buffers writes to a large degree.
To give you a comparison heres a sata3 Re4 1tb drive at the default bench
and at depth of 10 for the queue level
RAID5 won't be much faster in writes. It's generally worst option for almost everything except storage. For HDD it doesn't make any difference if it's SATA2 or SATA3. Max bandwidth is always for single port and SATA2 transfers are up to 280MB/s what is impossible to reach for single HDD.
In theory max bandwidth on these drives will be somewhere near 500MB/s but in RAID5 you won't make it much better than 300MB/s as all data is spread on 4 drives.
If you don't care much about transfers then RAID5 will save you some space but I would set RAID10 just because it's much faster and it's much easier to recover data in case of for example board fail.
Going back to main thread, yesterday I got 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix 1600 C8 1.35V kit, not really white box, more like white envelope
. Also on the way is 2x2GB 2000 C8 HyperX , Elpida Hyper based that I won on one local auction for all $40 shipped

Nice grabs Woomack!
Hope those hypers won't eat vdimm...not that much at least

Hah...did Con1 even open it? I asked how it was working out b/c he didn't leave heat but he didn't answer. Guess that's why! Glad to know it's still in a team member's hands though.
