cyberfossil Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I think in the windows device manager under serial ATA controller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLJ Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I think in the windows device manager under serial ATA controller right! trying it out right now, thanks! (it's called NVIDIA nForce4 ADMA Controller, not serial ATA controller ;-) ) cya EDIT: after benching again; still the same problems.

leokor Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 that's weird^^... and really bad, because i want to use this machine as LAN-Fileserver (for bigger Files)... I wouldn't recommend using RAID 0 for a fileserver. Especially, a RAID 0 of four drives (which quadruples a chance of failure!). In fact, I wouldn't recommend using it for anything other than temporary stuff, like scrap space for video files, etc. Let me suggest RAID 1+0 instead.

Leo i know what i'm doing. i do not fear losing all the data... @A_G: Thanks for this information! Will read me through it completely this evening... but 1 thing: My Maxtor DM10 are S-ATA1, with NCQ. So i probably will not be able to use 3GB/s..?! I noticed a 20 to 30MB/s drop @ avg. seq. read from MSI NF3 250GB Board to DFI NF4 Ultra-D... cya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
politenessman Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 just my opinion but arent you getting a little obsessive about this? 250 vs 450 hdtach? dont sweat the small stuff man. have you actually noticed a difference when loading apps, games, whatnot? very truly yours, politenessman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLJ Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 just my opinion but arent you getting a little obsessive about this? 250 vs 450 hdtach? dont sweat the small stuff man. have you actually noticed a difference when loading apps, games, whatnot? very truly yours, politenessman 250 vs. 450MB/s = 100%: 180% it's not about what i notice. Because it's not about my usual use of the machine. It's only about lan-parties. There it is a seeding machine. So it should have a transfer speed as high as possible. It's not really about the burstrate. The burstrate doesn't matter so much. Burst is read out of the cache, the cache is 4x8MB = 32MB. That would mean reading the _full_ Cache is a difference from 0.128s : 0.071111s - you (and i) will not notice any difference. But who knows what affects this has on NCQ? usually u're not benching with NCQ relevant methods... but if you want to read more than 1 file @ time from 1 HDD NCQ will have (slightly big) (positive) influences on bandwith... also notice, that the Bandwith is lower than with my previous rig (MSI K8N Neo NF3 250GB). That's just not what i've expected, and not why i imported my DFI NF4 Ultra-D etc.etc.^^ ;-) and, after all, i'm just a nerd^^ cya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chynn Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 There is an extensive RAID article on the AnandTech website. What they have found is that command queueing (NCQ or TCQ) actually slows down a RAID 0 array. Command queueing works best in a multi-user environment, so command queueing is bad on a client PC but is good on a server PC. If your drives support it, you can enable/disable command queueing in Device Manager under the SCSI Properties tab for the Disks category.
