Hello everyone, been reading these forums for some time; cheers to all of you and sorry for my bad English.
OT:
I got 2 new WD Black Caviars 640 GB into RAID 0 with controller Promise FastTrak TX 4310.
Everything went smooth, installing, drivers, webPAM etc.
Now, i tried some experimenting regarding the speed and didn't notice huge change.
Tested with HD Tach and HD tune and concluded, hey, this is PCI controller, so basicly it cannot go over 120MB/s.
Which makes my RAID 0 setup and controller investment-totally pointles.
Am I missing something here?
Is it possible to connect PCI controller into PCIx bus (got one free on my mobo) and have some improvement?
Or this is one of those examples where people say,
smart ones learn on other people mistakes, fools learn on their owns...
