Ok here is my config...
Athlon Thunderbird 1 gig
Abit K7T Raid
256k Ram
2 Western Digital Hard Drives 40 gig
ATA 100 7200 RPM Raid 1 Config
I have been benchmarking my Hard Drives
using 3 programs.. All but one showed
them much slower then they should be..
Sandra gave them a score 2 3rds faster
then an Ata 66.. Then I decided to allow
Sandra to test them also using windows
Cache. I was surprised to find confirmation
from Sandra that my HDs are running slower
then they should... The Speed came in just
under an average AtA 66 HD. I have tried
Upgrading Bios (Including the Raid Bios)
All drivers. Changing windows to config as
if the system were a file server. As well as
confirming every performance setting is on.
What the hell am I missing?? Why is so slow?
Can I turn the Windows Caching off???
