Hi there!
My specs are on my signature, and my RAID is setup like this:
Array 0 - RAID 0 - 70GB
Array 1 - RAID 0 - All the rest
This is just 2 x WD Caviar blacks, and I'm using Intel Matrix Raid. This happened on Vista x64 as well as now in Win 7 x64.
The problem is that when my computer is working hard on the HDD's, it really slows up. For example, when copying a big file from one place to another or doing a virus scan with MSE.
1 core will bounce around 100% use (50% total use on my CPU meter then) but switching windows, opening new pages and such just have some terrible lag. Even while I am typing this right now, the cursor will briefly stop for moments.
Is this normal? I find it strange that a 3.6Ghz C2D system with a RAID 0 setup can slow down so much when I'm doing these tasks.
