hey all got 2 74gb raptors in raid 0 on nvidia NF4, results are for a standard 8mb test,

20.8mb's a second read, 8.1ms access time,

shouldnt the read be closer to 100mb/s ? :confused:

stripe size is set to optimal, (64kb i think?)

any ideas ? hdtach is still worrying, installed vista on another partition, it gives 5.9 as the hard drive result, xp also 'feels' faster than 1 drive, but hdtach is going belly up, while the rest seems faster, hdtach in the wrong ? any other HD benchmark progs?
