SCSI Write Speeds With SP1

[mastertech01]

Has anyone tried SP1 with SCSI drives and basic disk to see if the service pack improved write speeds without having to convert to dynamic disk?

i was wondering the same thing

The problem has -not- been resolved. I had SP1 uninstalled on a machine to troubleshoot another problem so I ran the ATTO test which gave me the usual bad write speeds on basic disks. I just installed SP1 and ran the test again, and have the same results.

My test read results are also showing 15-20 MB/sec slower than before SP1 in ATTO, however, the speeds show the same in HD Tach, so I don't know what's up.

So what do you make of it? MS is forcing us to use dynamic disc?

Naw, more like "It's not a priority" since XP is not a server platform (yet), and the vast majority of users are using IDE drives.

What's a few thousand users in a galaxy of tens of millions who can't even spell SCSI?

Wait for it, they get to it. (or move along to *nix).

FYI, there's a big thread going on over at the Storagereview.com forums about this. I check it every now and then to keep up to date on the whole SCSI performance thing.
