I'm getting some very low scores and read write scores as well. the average seek time is better then SCSI! the average seek is from 2ms to 4ms!!! thats amazingly low. But i'm getting 14MB/s read and write speeds? However it is the sosoft sandra benchmark i'm running. It could be just buggy.
But i did set the cluster size for RAID at 64k. I bet thats the problem. I do have another drive isntalled as well. Just my old drive. I'm keeping until i get time this weekend to reinstall the OS and stuff.
Also i just thought of it. I have the IT7 mobo and one WD drive is on the first master and the other drive is on the 4th slave. (4 IDE ports on the RAID controller, i think it's 2 raid controllers in one. 1 and 2 would be controller 1 and 3 and 4 would be controller 2, now because the raid is split on both controllers maybe that is reducing the speed!?
alright well .. i'm gonna play with it some more though .. anyone got any thoughts from their experience?
also for the love of god can someone, anyone, tell me wtf the cluster size thing is? i guess asking what a good size to use for video editing is a bad question. Maybe if I ask what is it it would help lol
thanks! you guys rock by the way!
Life is irrelivent and irrational.
