It7 Max V1
So I bought my self an Abit a while ago......... then i should have chucked it in the garbage! No no just kidding, but..... Here goes.
I had two 30Gb hard drives back in the day, well, no matter how hard I tried I could seem to be able to boot off the RAID array. So I gave my sister one 30 and kept the other for Music and DL crap. For some odd reason I thought i would try RAID again as I'm getting rid of my Seagate SCSI cause its only 9gb.
SO.. i bought two WD80Gb JB's. Set up raid, installed all my games on the array and copied all the stuff from the 30Gb music drive to the array. that was a mistake.
When I play games now, and click on save, doesnt matter what game, my computer makes a screeeching noise through the speakers. When I use stuff like Kazaa, and the program is storing data on to the array the computer keeps pausing (100% CPU Useage) for a few seconds. The same thing with doing any network activities involving RAID.
You guys know the layout of the Origional IT7, it has 4 RAID channels, im using the one at the top and the third one, both hard drives are on their own cables, both set as masters.
Is there anything I can do with this or should i just not use RAID?
I beg of you be merciful and help as I spent more then 5 days trying to work this out.
Thanks in Advance,
Maverick
