4x 150GB Raptors on a Areca ARC-1210 Controller. after figuring out how to really set the contollers settings in it's bios....LOL

ST31000340NS 1TB Seagate 32mb. not that flash but hey

[1Tanker]

Not bad rickvtv6, but i wonder how the burst rate is so terribly low...especially with a 32MB cache drive. Maybe it's the nVidia SB hurting it.

[Empty_Quarter]

2x WD Raptor X RAID-0



2x WD RE3 1TB in RAID-0



Happy with results.

[1Tanker]

Wow...nice result with the 2TB array, Empty_Quarter. 10.0ms access time.

tell me about it! dunno, you think its that? the nvidia drivers are up to date, but when you select the health tab it doesnt show anything, nor the temp, also if you select the info tab it doesnt show the buffer? windows recognises the drive as a scsi drive but its sata2? could this have any part of it??

[Empty_Quarter]

Indeed, I am very very pleased with the results, and I hope to get two more drives and run them Raid-5.

In Bios do you have Sata Controller in RAID mode? If yes, then this maybe a reason for the non-reading temp and the 'scsi' instead of 'sata'....

As for the performance : yes, the nvidia can be the reason...I gained in average read rate & access time in an NV430 only by using Fernando's WHQL Pack drivers ...You can try them...

[rickvtv6]

i have all the raid settings disabled along with the ata settings.

is there any other drivers for vista x64 these only state xp 32 n 64?
Thnx.

i connected a cheap sata2 samsung 250gb drive i had lying around and got double the burst rate but slight lower max. (pretty embarrassing considering that 1tb is designed for 24/7 servers)

i might try swapping the sata connector to a diff port later and see if that makes any diff.

the fact that the samsung showed a massive improvement on the burst rate to me shows it isnt a board issue. will post the shot later.

2 x Samsumg Spinpoint F1 HD322HJ 320GB RAID0

P5K Premium / ICH9R

[rickvtv6]

GREAT i think i figured why my burst rate was so low, the jumper was in the drive limiting its transfer to the sata1 setting! wont be sure if that fixes it till this sat when i get my q9550 as the system is taking a break in pieces. the stupid thing is i have had the drive like this the whole time for approx 6 months and if it wasnt for this thread i would never have realized!

so thankyou fade2green514, if it wasnt for you i would have never realized the problem i didnt know i had now untill i d/l your link! lmao. look 4ward to the new post of what im hoping wil be an average burst rate with the q9550

cheers!
Rick

[felix_w]

..... i would have never realized the problem i didnt know i had now untill i d/l your link!

Hey Rick, glad you fixed that..whenever you can, post the new benchmark...

Except the Sata I/II jumper which was the problem, which link do you mean that helped you?
Did you try the driver pack i mentioned and if so did you have performance increase?

Cheers mate

the orig d/l link on the first page for the HD Tune prog. those drivers were only for xp 32 64 so i didnt wanna risk it as i done another fresh install due to a d3dx10_37.dll file error with Vantage.

lookin 4ward to it this weekend!

[felix_w]

Hey, going to drivers subforum's first page you could also find the drivers for Vista 32 /64...I used the "Special NF4 RAID WHQL Driverpacks" for my x64 Vista install on my NF4 machine...excellent results in contrary to the new-released 15.24 version...Try them and you'll see...

will this work with the 790i?

never mind im a noob! lmao

do you think i should use this one? im not using RAID just the single 1TB and a storage drive.
2. New: "NF4-7 Performance Pack with modded 10.3.52.4 IDE"

ill d/l and once my system is rebuilt this saturday i will bench after the jumper removed and b4 the driver and after to see if any difference.
i thought i cooked the e8400 but i think it overheated somehow (never see above 56c) when i went to load a game it worked for about 2 mins then black screen auto rebooted then constant beep from the mobo, i diagnosed it to the processor as i got a spare crappy E21 1.6ghz duel which booted but i replaced the E8400 back in there and it rebooted fine?? but i aint riskin it ill just put it away and slap in the q9550. i think that might be a sign its got cancer??lol

[rickvtv6]

i installed the version 10... as mentioned above, but im unsure if that caused the change as after i removed the sata1 jumper i was hitting a burst of about 81 once i disabled the enabled command queuing i then got around 160-170 instantly. a simple check box was holding me back. the drivers installed fine tho so there is no guarantee that it would increase it and i dont want to uninstall them as its running smooth now.


now i just gotta oc my new q9550

PS. notice my last 2 cpu cores are sitting on 40 (realtemp set 100TjMax) due to stuck sensors, the chip was boxed up 1 month ago according to the batch sticker and i have had it for 24hrs, not very pleased

Hi there :-)

[Godmyster]

I only got this..




I got a P5Q Deluxe, 4850, 2gb ram and as you can see my hd is the samsung f1 750gb it looks very low on the transfer rate especially on minimum.. i was wondering im runing this rig with very very cheap 600w power supply that cost like 10€..

any ideas?

[Levish]

the minimum transfer rates is being affected by another app accessing the disk while you are running the bench (nearly positive of this)

a "normal" graph will have nearly no dips in it, and your low side would typically be around 40MB/s according to that graph (which still seems kind of low for a F1 but not terrible)

r0lfi's 1x SAMSUNG HD103UJ 1000GB is roughly what all conventional hard disk graphs should look like differing obviously in the actual speeds but the general shape of the graph should be like that

[Godmyster]

Nop i tryed right now restarting my PC and with nothing workin except HD tune i got 10mb\s on the minimum transfer rate, may my disc not working well or is it not enough power, like i said my power supply is not good at all..
