Is it just me or are those scores pretty low?

That is with 2x80GB WD's

And 100% CPU usage from folding.

How about full disclosure? Explain how those two drives in a Matrix array gives any useful benchmark for the OP to compare his full RAID set against.............Oh, that's right, Seagate Matrix RAID users don't know how to compare apples to apples. :bang head

To the OP,

Obviously there will be bandwidth limitations on a PCI bus(my mistake), but there are issues with your setup. Could be a stripe size the card doesn't like, write-caching not enabled, DMA5 not enabled, etc. Lots of things to check.........

Yes, its very slow, even the 1st generation 7200.10 in plain raid 0 and no matrix raid at ICH7R is a alot better than that.

Example HERE and "IGNORE THE BURST".

Something is not right there.

lol this is like the third time you "tried" to be rude or disprove me for some reason... keep it up...

the results of everything on matrix raid Aside from the burst should be pretty close to any raid controller 2x150gb raptors are on and his results should be better than bing posted aside from the burst thank you.

Try? Your irrelevant/misleading responses are their own proof.........that was bing's link, not yours right? And no, two Raptors in RAID0 should be good for 150MB/s average read and 8.3ms on seeks. Burst rate is completely unreliable and irrelevant with those benchmark programs. What did you contribute again?
 
haha ok there mighty tuskenraider the matrix/seagate hater lmao, you just reaffirmed what was said by 2 people anyway and you got the buss wrong

Gotcha, missed that. One less thing to worry about at least.
