Post your hard drive benchmarks!

2 x Intel X25 M's running on an Adaptec 5405 in RAID 0 256K stripe Vista 64
 
Replaced the two Seagate 250GB drives with two Hitachi 750GB; attached to the SAS ports on ASUS P6TD. Drives about 18months old so last gen. Still not bad, and improvement over the 7200.9s.

Argh,

Mine is terrible I got rid of my RAID 0 when I built my media centre PC as I used the 2nd 250Gb drive for its system drive :rolleyes:

Looks like I need to get at least another Seagate Barracuda to bring the levels up again ;)

It's fast,

The sad thing is boot time is still quite a while as the Controller kernal needs to be loaded. When it actually starts to load windows it is done in mere seconds. Very snappy. Real world feels almost instant. Loving it :-) Yes it did cost a lot but a 5 year warranty on the drives and their new price point made it quite tempting. Swapped out for 3 SAS drives which were pretty damn snappy anyway but way cheaper.
 
Well i have done some messing around such as flashing the bios of my perc 5/i to an LSI firmware and am still waiting for my battery for the Perc but these are my results so far with 3x Samsung F1 320gb in raid0. (a bit of an improvment from my last post) hopefully the battery and Write back mode will give me another little boost.


 
following my mates advice, i turned on write back cache in matrix manager. Here are the new results (previous results a few posts up)
I think it's safe to say I can ignore the burst speed, this presumably is speed of onboard disk cache rather than actual disk speed ?

2x Sammy F1 750GB - RAID 0 (ich8r)

looking at some benchmarks from my 300GB Velociraptor drive. I believe the results should be better. I have looked at the info of the drive and Write-Cache is ENABLED.

Should I disable this? Also how would I go about doing so?

No mate ,keep it enabled for best possible performance - see Gibbo GTi's post above to see the kind of difference it can make. I believe the early samples of the Velociraptor were a bit slower than the later revision drives & may be down to this - whats your drive benching at ?
