road-runner Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Hey guys I have a choice of using Gigabytes raid controller or using Intels. I wonder which is better for my raid setup on the GA P35 DQ6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 What are your goals with the RAID setup? If it's speed unless you are doing video editing or massive file transfers RAID 0 isn't going to help. I'd go with the Intel either way, they seem to have a better track record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already hooked the drives up and all and working on it and deleted windows. Its just a benchmark rig/Folding rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Looks like one hard drive is better than raid 0. I can not run the same clocks on my video card that I was with one drive. I was breaking 13,000 regular in 3DMark06 now I can not quite get to 13,000. High 12s so its back to one drive I guess..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 It's good to see you are trying to setup the best benchmarking rig you can for the war. There's not much I can do with my setup.. I'll just have to try and push that OC as far as I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
