Unfortunately, the test suite that Davin and Eugine use at Storage Review is no longer available, and hasn't been for a number of years, otherwise I'd have a copy! SR do provide a far superior source of information, with much thought going through the process. SR and Anandtech are pretty much in agreement - RAID 0 does not significantly boost performance. SR's article on TCQ, RAID, SCSI and SATA pretty much comes to the same conclusion.
