Hi guys,
Just ditched my GA-P55M-UD2, for the GA-X58A-3UDR. I had my 2 X 1TB drives in RAID 1, for redundancy. (intel raid)
The new setup read it just fine and booted up Win7, however, it is slow as molasses (yes the raid re-built itself, I waited and waited... still garbage). My Windows Disk score went from a "5.9", to a "4.3". My friends single IDE drive on P4 AGP system gets 4.6. I re-installed the drivers and no change in performance. I took out intels Rapid Storage Service, no change.
What are my options with this board? I think I will try RAID 0, since RAID 1 is such a disappointment. Which one is best, so I don't have to re-install my system multiple times. (Also if you can tell my why RAID 1 bites the big one on this board, I am all ears. Would love to just tweak it and keep it in RAID 1).
Is this board a lemon? I can still exchange it... I like gigabyte do they have RAID 1 that works?
