Hi.
I was wondering how you all had your HDs setup.
Heres how mine are setup.
Abit KT7A-RAID.
On Highpoint RAID Controller;
Nothing (Disabled, for speed boots)
On Via Controller;
Channel 1;
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 120gb w/8mb cache. (Master)
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 80gb w/8mb cacge (Slave)
Channel 2;
Lite-On 48x12x48 CDRW (Master)
Lite-On 16x DVD (Slave).
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 120gb w/8mb cache
Partition Information;
C:\ = NTFS = 20GB = Windows & Programs.
D:\ = NTFS = 50GB = Games
X:\ = FAT32 = 30GB = Shared Files.
W:\ = FAT32 = 14.49GB = "Stuff".
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 80gb w/8mb cacge
Partition Information;
Z: = FAT32 = 30GB = Backup/s
Y: = FAT32 = 2GB = Swap File
V: = FAT32 = 4.33GB = Tempory Files
H: = FAT32 = 20GB = Music/iPod Stuff
I: = FAT32 = 20GB = Downloads.
On ViaPCI Firewire Controller;
Port 1 of 3
Apple iPod 3rd Generation 15gb.
No Partitions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ive heard that having the HDs on different channels can help speed when transfering files to and from? True?
Would it help the speed of transfering large files if i had one HD and one CD on each channel? Or would it only make a difference with large files and not general usage?
I dont intend activating the RAID controller so everything is on its own channel cos i can`t be arsed messing with drivers in windows. So what i`ll probably do, depending on if my new mobo that i`ll be getting in Feb comes with enough channels for each drive to have its own channel, then i`ll do it then.

So then, what are your setups?
