Vormulac Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Hey guys (and girls) Need your help with something weird. As per my sig i have 2 Maxtor PATA drives running in RAID 0. Everything is fine when it comes to read speeds with all benchmarks (ATTO, HDTach, Sandra), however, the write speeds seem borked. If i run the NVRAID drivers off the DFI RAID install disk that came with my mobo, i get around 65MB/s write speed with all benchies. However, when i update to any of the latest ones, the write speed drops to 32MB/s and will not go any higher. Both drives are on individual channels. This has me tearing my hair out so if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Vormulac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Game Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 On a bootable array drivers are installed with OS(f6) and can't update with out reinstall of OS. That's what I thought, until many here came and said that you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vormulac Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Interesting...however, i get the same problem when i install a copy of XP slipstreamed with the later drivers. Hey fightgame, what are your read and write speeds (ATTO or similar) from your Maxtor PATA array? and what driver are you using?

Vormulac Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Just out of curiousity would it be ok to stick to the older drivers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDog69 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Just out of curiousity would it be ok to stick to the older drivers? If they are stable and do everything you want them to, by all means, use what works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey fightgame, what are your read and write speeds (ATTO or similar) from your Maxtor PATA array? and what driver are you using? Vormulac My raid array actually consists of the 2 pata drives AND the 2 sata drives. Avg. 180 read, and about 80 write, if I remember correctly. I know my sig is showing 2 seperate arrays, and I'm trying to get it fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccheung Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Hi Fight Game, do you setup your PATA RAID by connecting IDE hard drive in separate IDE controller, or connecting as master and slave in just one controller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_nonsense4857 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Hummm. Tired a lot and then updated my sig :shake: How did you get your pata drives to work in RAID0 on your mobo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
