Asus P5N-T Deluxe driver help

[MTDEW]

I just installed an Asus P5N-T deluxe mobo, everything seems to work fine except my transfer rates on my Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drive are HORRIBLE!

I get burst rates in the 150's and sustained in the 70's.

YES, the SATA 150 jumper is removed from my 7200.10 drive. :thumbsup:

So that leads me to believe my drivers arent installed/configured correctly.

Heres what i have in device manage.

IDE ATA/ATAPI CONTROLLERS

Storage Controllers
ALQBA8CY IDE Controller
Microsoft iSCSI Intiator
NVIDIA nForce RAID Controller

Anyone care to share what their device mangaer looks like? 😉


Ive tried the 780i NVIDIA drivers form the Asus cd, the NVIDIA website and from the ASUS website as well.

Same results, my transfer rates suck!

Any ideas?

That's about normal. True SATAII speeds are a long way off.

Seriously, sounds about right.

You made me go check the forums where i was reading about people getting in the 200's burst rate.
It seems they were using HD TACH and i'm using HD Tune.

Gonna check on HD TACH and see how that compares.

And sure enough, in HD TACH i get 233.8MB/s Burst Speed and 64MB/s Avg read. 😀

Next time i'll ask if people are benching theirs with the same program before i let them tell me my scores are way low.

For some reason, people put a lotta stock in those burst rates. AFAIK / Seen /Played with, they don't really mean too much. I know they hafta mean something, but I'm too old to get excited about everything! 😀

Although, I do get the warm and fuzzies about seek times and read rates! :laugh:
