cpuz Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Man. glad you got it sorted out! did you have the RAID drivers imbeded in the slipstreamed disc? were you using a floppy after an F6 deal.? Yes, the 6.53 raid drivers were slipstreamed as well as winxp w/sp2 on it. According to Thunda's link, you cannot do different cluster size other than default if you use winxp w/ sp2 slipstreamed! And I just proved it. Oh well, I'm all the more wiser now, ...I guess.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundx98 Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 and I'm totally confused as I just formated the 2nd Array (Hitachi's) at 8? I know I used a slip streamed disk. did add raid drivers through floppy though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpuz Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Here are my new benches w/ 32k stripe and 8k cluster size: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 That configuration gives you some more throughput. I'm wondering why the rate drops off towards the second half of the drive now. It didn't do that on your original setup. Just remember that every file will take up at least 8K on the drive. If you use this on the OS partition you generate a lot of slack due to the file sizes involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken Joe Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Thanks for making me feel inadiquate again I guess I will have to upgrade at least it is not all that expensive. Those times are pretty wicked on just two drives thanks for all the info guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
