Re: Looking to build storage of about 3TB -- recommendations |

This is what I do for a living. But this particular analysis is pretty
easy to come up with.
Just look at the block diagram of the Intel E7520 chipset and then one
for the AMD 8131. What you are looking for are the number of
independent PCI buses and their paths to memory.
Each PCI bus has a maximum burst throughout, and a sustainable
throughput of about half of that (depending on the number of bus
masters). As long as the memory controller is not the bottleneck, then
it is the number of PCI buses times the sustainable throughput.
