Hello.
I just finished building a file server.
A8N-SLI
3700+
1GB Ram
2 x 160GB WD1600JB 8MBPATA
2 x 200GB Maxtor DM 8MB SATA
Hightech RocketRaid 1640 PCI
4 x 300GB Maxtor DM10 16MB Raid 5
When I copy from a PATA drive to my Raid5 array, the copy goes very fast.
When I copy from a SATA drive to a PATA drive, the copy goes very fast.
Oddly enough, when I copy from an SATA drive to the Raid5 array, it goes about 1/4 the speed then the copy from a PATA does.
The two 200GB SATA drives are plugged into the nforce4 SATA controller, not the Silicon controller.
And the reason I am not using the silicon sata raid controller is because the raid5 array with be moving into a different machine.
