Hi, this might seem to be an odd issue, but this is the story.
I went overseas for Chinese New Year and got my self a comp and brought it back ot Australia (for about $200 AUS cheaper)
This is my spec
Opty 165 CCBWE 0551VPMW 2.4 GHZ (320*7.5) @ Stock (Priming) with XP 120
2X 1 GB Kingston Value (133MHZ 2.5/3/3/7 @ 1T)
ASUS A8N32 - SLI DLX
GF 6600 256 TOPS
2X 120 GB SATA 150 Maxtor
I got everything except for my opty overseas, and so i couldn't test it myself, but they were tested on the day i went to pick up my order. Ok, here's the problem. My both HD are indeed 120GB SATA150, but one of them is Diamon 9 Plus and the other is Diamon 10. I think both of them has 8mb of cache. I currently got them in a RAID 0 with blocking size of 32k, and while installing Windows, i realised that the chip on the Diamon 9 becomes very hot, probably around 40+ degrees. Should I break the RAID ? Or is it normal? I've heard a friend's maxtor raid go without a problem for 2 years under heavyload, how about mine?
Thanks in advance
