I wasn't sure whether to put the post here or in General Storage...
I'm a little stumped so here goes:
My home workstation is an Asus PP-DLW / Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz / 2GB RAM rig
I've put in an old HP Netraid 1Si card and 3x oldish Hard Drives that I had lying around in a RAID 0 Stripe.
(dont know how to post screen captures so.....)
Channel0
(0:0)A0-2-Online is a Fujitsu MAN3367MP / Scsi lvl2 / 34731MB / no errors
(2:0)A0-1-Online is a Seagate ST373405LW / Scsi lvl2 / 70006MB / no errors
(6:0)A0-0-Online is a Maxtor ATLAS10K5_73WLS / Scsi lvl3 / 70148MB / no errors
This is all reported in Netraid Assistant
I am getting averages of 18-22MB/s with these three striped / seek times of around 8ms and Burst of about 28MB/s[/img]
I had the Maxtor in alone before with the same controller with the same speeds. Somewhere, something is blocking my bandwidth. HDTach's graph is almost totally flat and level, no runoff at all.
The card is set on Ultra2 / Wide / Write-Thru etc
The card is in the only PCI slot available which is furtherest from the CPU's
So all the SCSI fundi's out there - impart your wisdom please, it will be most appreciated.
