I just got my new RAID-0 striped array up & running.....using (4) Maxtor
DiamondMax Plus 9 (7200 rpm, 8MB cache) and SIIG ATA-133 RAID PCI card.
Using HD Tach 3.0, I'm getting about 82-85 MB/sec. transfer rates. However,
only about 45% faster than a single Maxtor drive (not like the 2X speed
increase claimed for RAID-0 arrays). I am using a 512KB stripe size.
I'd like to know what other folks are getting with their arrays. How do the
SATA RAID cards compare in transfer speed to IDE?
