Is the PCI bus really limited to 50MB/s though?

There is something a miss.

It might not be as fast as onboard but thats score stinks!

I just don't get it? :confused:

No, it's 133MB/s.

Agreed, the card isn't performing as well as it should and I'm not sure why. It's at times like this when I take a step back and think "is it worth spending x hours trying to fix this or do I take an evening to nuke the PC and start again with a setup that I know would fix the problem?"

Well its not my windows disk.

Its a Raid setup for my video editing so no re-install required.

I thought a Raid card with 64 MB cache wether on the PCI bus or not would be much faster than onboard mobo?

Its bugging me more than anything.

Looking better, try the long bench in HDTach, it should give a smoother curve. Also check that the caching is enabled in the Intel Matrix Storage application thing.

Its enabled.

Now I have another problem...

Sice I'm now using the onboard raid I'm getting rubbish transfer rates with my optical drives

I have one on the IDE channel and the other sata dvd rom on port 2.

PIO is enabled with no option to change it to DMA and ripping a DVD is taking ages.

1mb second read speed

whats going on?
