setup includes
pcie raid card 8x
2 maxtor atlas 15krpm
4 drive scsi cable + terminator on end of cable

problem is, do i need to setup ID jumpers on maxtor hard discs

Also, strange it may seem, my Maxtors only work in one direction. Exposed side to left. Took me ages to work it out. Should not need to change anything if raiding.

can you explain what is exposed side to left :confused:

ok got couple of jumpers
i set 1 hard disc to id 0 the other 1 to id1
i can see them with raid card bios
i set up raid 0 shows me 70gb then i format them
now to windows i can see them in disc management
when i try to copy a file to them, i get windows right protected error
popping up, rebooted drives show as failed
puzzled

got it working

stripe 128kb write thru on, cluster off

stripe 128kb write thru on, cluster on

when cluster mode is set to on, burst speed is only showing
1 drive but as you can see transfer rate goes up.
