For content creation, Intel have simulated access to via video creation applications. This is made up of 98 files with 12MB reads and 14MB writes in varying sizes of blocks. The activity is predominantly non-sequential with the majority of access time made up of writing to the drives. There are quiet periods of read/write activity interrupted with busy periods to present a difficult workload on the drives.
Like we found with the first of our test areas, RAID50 shows a nearly a double in performance over a pure RAID5 array with a jump from 6.3MB/s to 10.6MB/s.
