Hi all,
I have the above mobo with a Maxtor 160GB SATA HD and a PATA DVD Burner.
When I benchmark the file system, it seems I only get 33MB sustained speed
on this HD.
I have checked on the internet, and some people recommend I place my single
SATA drive on the Silicon raid controller and enable RAID mode even with
just one drive. My question is: have I read these instructions wrong or
will this work and my transfer speed pick up a bit??
Thanks in advance.
PS. I am a bit gutted as I just upgraded to this board from an AN7. On the
AN7 with a PATA133 drive I benched 45MB sustained transfer. Does anyone
know why the IC7 board only comes with an ATA100 controller?
