EDIT*

got it

Any suggestions for me
2x36.7 Raptors RAID0 Strip 16K / Cluster 4K on sil3112, LANPARTY UT RDX200

i think its mainly the controller card.

the average read seems fine but the brust seems to be slower than the rest

I switched back to NV controller and now everything is fast. :)

I get roughly the same performance with Sil3114 and CFX3200. Much better with ULI M1575. Maybe u should try the SB450.

Thats almost exactly what i got when i had my two 36gb raptors on the nvraid, except my burst was higher.

use nvraid for faster performance

HighPoint 2310 (PCI-E x4) is no go friends. It gave me the same performance I get with nvraid Burst speed: 250mb/s. I don't know how to disable command quing and read cache on this controller. so, this is without the tweaks. Does any body know how to do that? I installed the software that came with the adapter but it doesn't have the options.

the options are probably in the bios it's self.

Yea its in the BIOS.

Also if you're only running it at PCIe x4 you're hampering its performance. I know with my 1210 when I ran it at PCIe x1 speeds performance was less than half of what it was @ PCIe x8.

hello he's using a high point pci-express 4x card. the highest speed it runs is 4x.

so 1000 MB/s is a bottleneck? each way?

You wouldn't think so, but then PCIe x1 can do about 250MB/s IIRC which should be more than enough for my 4 drive RAID 0 array, but then it wasn't so I dunno...

I had to turn those on using Ghost 2003 to identify RAID arrays on the DFI.

i run ghost 7.5 and ghost 8 both detect raid on asus a8v-delux mb
but i know a guy who runs plain sata drives not in raid and ghost 7.5 or 8 wont detect them !!!!

so it can be a motherboard controller issue. maybe buy 1 that will work for around $50

but then u loose a pci slot!!

Well at 250 MB/s with x1 but also theres also overhead with PCI-E so it would be starved, but x4 should be ok bandwidth wise.

Ghost is a POS and doesnt detect alot of drives that are on controllers, be it raid or not.

On an Intel 865G Chipset if you run SATA in native mode Ghost will not detect the drives, you need to run them in PATA Compatible mode... point being I agree with MAXXX Ghost sux, I worked with their tech support as having me download custom builds of Ghost 10 because it wouldn't even fully load due to Nvidia raid on another board, they tried everything, after two weeks I tossed Ghost and picked up Acronis True Image... it worked fine.

Ill third that, Ghost is the worst piece of software i have ever owned. I tossed it in a drawer some where and bought Acronis True Image also, which works flawlessly in every system i put the recovery disk in.
