I had two 120GB drives connected as RAID 2+0 on my A7V333 w/ the latest BIOS, RAID driver, Windows XP+SP1.
The speed of this config was no better than my main 40GB drive.
I then configured the drives under RAID to be two separate drives(non-RAID) and the performance of each is still not better than my default C: drive.
The two drives are WD 120GB+8MB. The 40GB drive is a WD 40GB drive.
Is this speed difference normal? Shouldnt each drive be at least as fast as the main 40GB drive? Is the Promise RAID controller chip just slow?
