4 x 36g raptors in raid 0 64K on NF4 controller

 

i see a huge difference in speed comparing to 1 or 2 drives.

programs open faster and games load levels extremely fast.

 

ever since i ran 4 drives in raid 0 i've never looked back......

And you can also see more problems as well :P

 

A two HDD array has twice the chances of failing, a four HDD array has 16 times more chances to fail than a single HDD. I know, I have a four HDD RAID0 array :rolleyes:

I'm using a PCI-E Rocket Raid 2310 with 4 Seagate Barracuda 320 SATAII's 3 Drives in RAID 5 with one hot spare.

 

Get 198MB read in Sandra.

 

Having lots of weird issues though, new build. To get the machine to see the RAID card, I have to completely unplug it or it won't load the card's bios.

 

I also have to leave the SLI at 2-1-1-16 or it will never see the RAID card.

 

It's stable, it just won't soft reboot and see the RAID card.

After months of just talking about it :0 I finally upgraded from a single Fujisu 15K 18GB SCSI drive to 2xFujitsu 15K 36GB SCSI (pagefile on original) on an Adaptec 29320ALP-R HostRaid single channel controller.

 

I just did a major upgrade to my system but have not yet changed my sig since I am still tuning and testing ... dual Prime95, both cores pegged 100% as I write this, with no perceptible effect on browsing. Pictures and results to come ..

 

Edit: RAID0
