Hey, I decided to bench my computer today and noticed that my RAID0 performance wasnt that good. Here is my system:
ABIT KR7ARAID
1900+
2x Seagate Barracudda ATA66 30GB 7200rpm in RAID0 64k stripe size. (Each on its own 80pin, one PRI Mast, and one SEC Mast)
Win2k Pro
NTFS
Not my whole system, but all thats needed to get my question across. My sandra scores are hovering around 20000. Sandras comparison says that a SINGLE drive is faster!! Here is a screenshot from HDTach: Click for screenshot Now, that cant be right. My brothers single ATA66 maxtor is beating out my RAID!! I updated my BIOS, HPT372 BIOS, HPT372 drivers and still no difference. The burst is definitely where it should be, but the sequential reading, I feel should be nuch higher? Isnt that correct? Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!
