i just noticed, why your drive doesnt report temps?
it looks like bad driver or...
i Have Vista, and for some strange reason, Vista thinks that my sata drives are Fibre Channel, so it doeasnt read SMART. But other that that it works 100%

Mad Man & Hachi Roku: Are you using x86 or x64 Vista?

Here is an update of the score, taken from the best of 3.
Similar to my previous one but a little better in write/read but burst rate is lower. I don't know which is more important for day to day multi-task and gaming..
This time I'm not using the newest Intel Matrix Storage driver - 7.50.1017. I use Vista x64 based 8.10.xxxx AHCI driver and the HD seems not able to get the 110 burst rate as before but a little faster read/write speed. Access time is around the same.

using Vista x64. not really sure why it doesn't read smart MM. updated to Nvidia v9.92 Sata/Raid Controller with no real change in performance.

hmm, I'm glad I've chosen the WD5000AAKS instead of the 500GB Seagate 7200.10. On a side note, my 320GB Seagate 7200.10 was defective just over a year so I just bought the WD5000AAKS and to my surprised, it's preety fast for a single HD in AHCI. Avg 60+ transfer speed and anywhere from 108~110 burst rate

Did you make sure that your drive doesn't have any bad sectors??
Are you one IDE or AHCI? maybe you should try AHCI on VISTA

My 74GB Raptor

Pretty bold claim there, let's forget for a moment that I have raptors.

The benchmarks I've seen indicate an advantage in single user performance with raid0 raptor 150GB drives, do note these are faster drives than the smaller raptors.

the reason is of course that maus are made with server performance in mind, not desktops and gamers.

Just did another quick HDTune Bench (1st bench)
From all the bench results I've tested using HDTune, the results were consistent. Updated to Intel Matrix Storage driver 7.50.1017.

Here are my 2 x Raptors in RAID0 on Intel ICH9R

**alb@nian** · 07-01-2007, 06:40 AM

Wow that awesome lasse.j5 but why 74GB Raptor of `danny run so low??

**TMM** · 07-01-2007, 11:28 PM

2x250GB Seagate (one 7200.8, one 7200.10) in RAID0

Single vs Raid0.

what the heck is going on here?

**nutral** · 07-09-2007, 02:14 AM

Your burstrate is high becouse i think you have write back data cache on, it caches some space in the memory before its placed on the harddisk.

My performance, didnt turn on write data back cache becouse you would get enormous burst amounts.

**xTr33m sammich!** · 07-09-2007, 12:30 PM

allright, this is without write cache, looks so tiny :P
3x 500GB samsung SATA-II 100GB partition on ICH9R

**nutral** · 07-09-2007, 12:53 PM

looks nice, especially the burst speed. I just run intel raid on ICH7R, dont know what the difference is tough.

**mak1skav** · 07-09-2007, 01:42 PM

This is mine with two Samsung HD501LJ in raid 0.The mobo is the Asus P5K Deluxe with a Celeron 440 at 3340Mhz.

**xTr33m sammich!** · 07-09-2007, 04:01 PM

just a lil info mak1skay, turn off write-back cache for this benchmark, the huge increase in bandwidth is because your ram is doing part of the work, just figured that out myself, not that its a bad thing, use it. It's gotta be good.
