Single WD Raptor = 35 Mb/sec?
GigaByte GA-K8NNXP MB
WD SATA Raptor 36Gb
Sil3512 SATA controller hooked up to the Raptor, in single disk base config
GigaRAID controller running 2 optical drives, 2 regular ATA drives
Sil3512 RAID driver 1.1.0.52
AMD64 3400+
1Gb PC400 RAM
PC Power & Cooling 510W TurboCool Deluxe PS w/ SATA power leads
W2K SP4
I am booting off of the RAPTOR. No IRQ conflicts that I can see.
ATTO shows read performance of about 35 Mb/Sec and write performance up to 100 Mb/Sec!?
I have a couple of anamolies during boot up that may offer clues: The regular GigaRAID ATA controller takes a good minute to find my optical IDE drives, and complains that I am not using the right cable, and that I am limited to ATA/33. Also there is a long delay verifying some sort of pool settings on the Raptor. I am using the GigaRaid ATA controller for my 2 optical drives and 2 ATA drives. But I would not think this would slow down the SATA controller? Could the Sil3512 conflict with the GigaRAID controller at all? I will try disabling it and see if that helps, since I boot off of the Sil3512.
Someone mentioned that a single drive can be run in RAID configuration and that the RAID should be selected and the RAID driver used.
