Terrible for WD SE 8MB Cache series of drives, you really should be in the mid 90s with those.

 

[Spec_Ops2087]

uhhh then some help would be nice.....




Spec

EDIT: when I did that I did have Kazaa downloading some stuff and folding running...would that slow down the benchie?

here is my benchmark if it helps... i have a wd 40GB 7200rpm 2mb cache

 

[NeoN068]

try benchmarking with nothing running

sandra says 29k which does not sound right at all...and I can't use hdtach becasue it dosen't support NT(XP) without regeristering and I not paying like 50 bucks for it....so what the deal here?

Break the RAID and test again.

 

[Spec_Ops2087]

that somthing I cannot do...I have to much data to break my RAID 0 and that would be a LOT of CDs to back up evrything....I reinstalled drivers and what not and still 80MB range in Otto...any other suggestions?

I always say that it is a good idea to be expecting your harddrive to die anyday.

Of course if you are me with a IBM 60GXP that "idea" is a reality......

 

[Spec_Ops2087]

I don'y think it is dying...there are no signs that it is...they are nice and quiet, no clicking or anything

this is one WD 120 gig drive with 8 meg cache

HTH

 

[Spec_Ops2087]

ooooooook...now I got even weirder results...on 16MB the read soars to 120MBp/s but then everything after that hang around 80MBp/s and the WRITE is FASTER than the read?!

BTW my RAID controller card is a Promise Fasttrack 100 tx4

[NeoN068]

WinXP is known for terrible RAID performance.
