To be honest I'm not sure about the validity of this bench. It seems rather inconsistent to me. In general use the volume feels pretty fast though. Just going by feel I can tell the difference between this and a single 80GB G1.
Thanks for the reply, yeah this benchmark isnt consistent at all but still it should give a rough idea after several runs.
So did you type in "create partition primary align 256" right?
Im really confused by all this alignment, i already used 64, 1024 and now im on 128 (stripe 128KB, ICH9R, W7 with Write-Back cache).
A guy on some Dutch forums didnt align at all and used a stripe size of 64KB (ICH10R, W7) and he also had better performance then me.
My read speeds are pretty much ok but i cant get my 512k and 4k write speed right.
Im really starting to suspect the ICH9R or am i just doing something wrong here?
