Right I've followed Cavemanoc's expert tips, and got my 2 maxtor atlas 15k drives a running. One problem I do have is that the array isn't coming up under 'my computer', why is this? I have HDTac installed yet that see's the array and manages to bench it.. so what gives? My samsung 200gig drive has 13ms access and 51 meg/sec read times, The scsi array gives 6 ish ms access and 118 meg/sec, also has 180ish on burst.

I've never setup a controller card before, aside from sata lol, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.. Cave if you read this, can u go through what I need to do step by step after pressing ctrl M at startup? Either that of give me a link somewhere? Cheers in advance mate.
 
thank the lords for you cave!! Yeah I was well excited when it all started up too!! I understand now why it wasn't coming up with the drive under windows.. still not sure why mine is so much slower than yours, I'll have a play with the settings like you said, btw any links to some freebie disk speed proggies? Atto? Also, when you press print screen (for a screenshot of desktop) where the bloody hell does it save them? lol..

TY again bud.

PS 15k disks have a very interesting whine lol, still that'll be well hidden by the vapo ls gurgle :P
