Guest Tmod Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 As the title states I would like to know how many of you are running some sort of RAID array. When you reply please mention which controller your array is on and what type of array it is. The reason I am asking is for possibility's for Tmod's CD. Thanks Tmod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_geekster Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I have two Hitachi 7K80's setup in RAID 0 (153.38GB - 3.0 Gb/s): (NVIDIA nForce RAID Class Controller). p.s. Thanks for all of your hard work, Tmod! I just burned CD 7.0 to a CD-RW so I can attempt to flash my "first" BIOS. I have to say, I am extremely nervous about all of the possible problems. I am having a cold boot issue and ExRoadie suggested that I try 704-2bt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPDMF Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Running 4 X 36 gig Raptors in RAID0 on the nvidia controller. Dual boot, XP64 100 gig part., XP32 17gig part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Run up to 4 Samsung Spinpoint 160GB drives on the nforce4 controller. Currently awaiting a pair of 36GB Raptors for an nf2 board using the SiI 3114 controller on it. Edit: Raid 0 of course, though I did toy with Raid 1 and 0+1 on the nf4 controller as well. (it is 0+1 right...and not 1+0?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 2x 74Gig Raptors in RAID0 on the Nforce4 Raid Contoller - 64K Stripe, 16K Cluster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrifoglio Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 No RAID for me, because the performance gain of RAID 0 is only marginal for a typical desktop user like me. RAID 0 gives a higher transfer rate, but not necessarily much higher I/O's per second. So, I'm pretty happy with single drives. As for RAID 1, could be worth the trouble and money. But for the time being I have no issues backing up manually to a second drive AND an external USB2.0 drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
