My benchmarks from my hard drives, my 320 has a lot of low spikes, is this normal?

here's mine

Hitachi DeskStar 320gb in RAID0

run the benchmark a few times, couple of them had massive really low spikes (one all the way down to 4mb/s) - is this normal?

Yeah just means something accessed the drive, superfetch, a media player, pagefile etc

Perfectly normal.

Ah ok, I do have loads of things running and thats the os drive.

Cheers

Have moved my RAID 0 over to the Intel controller as opposed to using the Gigabyte one, found the option to enable write back caching (cheers rpstewart). This is my new benchmark:

hi guys, just got me a new shuttle pc and put a samsung 750gb in there.

i know absolutly nothing about hard drives but i've compared my results and they look similar some others.

can you confirm they're ok though - just installed XP pro & Vista on it with 3 other partitions for games, music, work stuff.

forgot this one.
