Hi guys,
does RAID1 array on Intel ICH9R controller (on GB EP35-DS3R motherboard) provide drive load balancing ? In other words, will the array provide read speed same to single disk, or better ? what about queuing/parallel processing of requests ? I just cant google it..
note : here http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/matrixstorage_sb.htm Intel says "Also, due to drive load balancing, even systems with RAID 1 can take advantage of faster boot times and data reads.", but i am not really sure if it is only nice theory about RAID1, or reality about ICH9R Cant find any tests, numbers...
Thanx, and sorry for my english, i am from Europe )
