Any ideas why its so slow
Thought I might mention that every now and then one of my hard drives makes a clicking noise. It doesnt do it all the time but I would say on average every 20 mins or so.
I am assuming this is not normal hence POSSIBLY the reason my RAID0 is so slow. However I dont get any errors showing anywhere not that I know where to look even if I did

I originally used a RAID0 using 2 x 7200.9's and this was fine although on a P5WDH-Deluxe.
I had a single 7200.10 which seemed fine and then I decided to buy a 2nd and have recently set them up in RAID0.
All this on my new board P35C-DS3R
EDIT:
This is the same on HDTach
I also have 2 x 7200.9's running in RAID1 in the same PC and this is was HDTach shows:

Guys,
In the Intel Matrix Storage Manager I put the 'Volume Write back cache Enabled to 'Yes' and my speeds go up a heck of a lot (should it be on or off)
Look at the burst rate and CPU usage is this normal

Should I have something else installed?
Come to think of it when I installed Vista it didn't ask for raid drivers it saw the single 500gb raid0 setup and I just installed it? Can I do a repair with the dvd and add the drivers in now do you think
tweakinfreak did you put the intel RAID drivers onto a USB stick or floppy when you installed Vista. When you get to the part where it says what disc you want to install Vista on there is an option that says additional drivers, do it then.
As a second note anyone concerned about one of my hard drives clicking, see above post. I would rather sort it out now than leave it.
Advise please.
