Does the HPT370 work in W2k?

Well ok, does it work well i w2k? Isn't ATA100 not implimented yet? So two 75GXP's that are capalbe of over 66MB/s would be limited?

Yes, it works, and very well too You'll need to boot off of your Windows 2000 CD-ROM and hit F6 to install a third-party RAID driver. If you use floppies to boot into Windows 2000 (like me) I know for a fact you have to hit F6 right before the bootdisk menu shows up for the initial set of 4 diskettes. If you needs the disks, you can download them from BootDisk for free. Make sure you get the correct version for Pro/Server/Adv Server.

You'll need the HPT370 diskette and you'll need to enter it two times. The first time will be after the second floppy disk (of 4) and the last time will be after the fourth and setup almost starts.

Hope that helps.

D'oh! Forgot the other part of your question, sorry about that

When I benched with SiSoft Sandra I was about to burst about 76MB/sec with an IBM 75GXP (45GB). I know that Win2000 doesn't officially support UDMA/100, but it looks like my drive goes past 66MB/sec bursts.
