Asus A8v -> Which Raid Controller ?
PIG-PEN replied to PIG-PEN's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
Many TKS - I have only heard a couple of things on controller comparison: "VIA faster" "Promise more reliable" I know it's not the same MOBO, but I'm guessin' it would be similar. Q ==> Did your papa notice any speed difference when switched over to the Promise controller? Also, do you have any insight into what chunk size I should set the drives @ (gaming + Video editing) -> I think 64, but need some reassurance. TKS for your quick response -> Just joined the O/C & lovin' the info support already! P.S. looks like you're running the same system as I'm building... what is you're HD? -
I could not find the answer by searching previous posts (just joined) & I thought this would be a common question... With the ASUS A8V_Deluxe there are 2 HD controllers for SATA drives, should I use the VIA or Promise? I plan on running: * XP PRO with AMD 64 3500 * Two Seagate SATA 120G in RAID 0 * System used for HVY Video editing w/ Pinnacle Studeo + Games, Games, Games (COD & Far Cry) Depending on the controller, also wondering what chunk size I should set-up the drives. 8/16/32/64 ? Greatly Appreciate any insight.
