exeter_acres Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Riddle me this.... I have 2 WD 40gb drives Primary IDE and Secondary IDE off of the Mobo... and a 20gb drive that I run off of a Raid controller as a backup drive. (when I get more drives I'll set up a true Raid!) Here is the dilemna... In all diagnostics and in WinXP computer management. The Drive off of the RAID card shows up as Drive 0, and the Primary drive off of the Mobo shows up as Drive 1.. Now.. the primary drive is faster and has a better cache than the smaller drive, so it throughs off my benchmarks.. Ie PCMARK scores like crap unless I go into the Hardware manager in WinXP and disable the RAID card.. so PCMark goes to my true primary drive... It's not a show stopper but curious if I can rearrange those numbers: Primary is drive 0, secondary is drive 1, and RAID card drive is drive 2?? Make sense??
