The drives used for the main test matrix were the Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST31000340NS. This is almost certainly due to the Photoshop 32GB bug which limits its memory use to 2810MB instead of 3072MB. Memory configuration was varied at 8/16/32GB.įor the diglloydMedium test (15.7GB scratch file at the end of the test), the 16GB configuration was actually slightly faster than 32GB. Tests were run using 1/2/3/4/5/6 drives for scratch with the 2/3/4/5/6 drives setup using a striped RAID volume, each drive contributing 32GB from the fast side of the drive. See the Benchmark Actions page for more on the test benchmarks. The scratch file sizes are the size after the benchmark test is run. Two benchmarks were used differing only in image size: diglloydMedium (20,000 pixel-wide image, 15.7GB scratch file) and diglloydHuge (40,000 pixel-wide image, 56.4GB scratch file).
