So, I was playing around with ATTO just to see what the deal was.

Is that a good score for a 4 drive RAID 0?
I've never used ATTO before ...

dave, what controller are you using, and are you in 64bit or 32bit vista?

hey, where did you get it?

That's just the on board nVidia controller.
... and 64 bit Vista.

all over the place...i dunno, re: these types of benchies...

[DavARei]

So, I guess the question is, at what point is there benefit to speed on the HD?
My theory was that games would load faster and run a little smother.
I have the virtual mem tied to the faster drive ... and have a 2 Gb USB running ReadyBoost.

But does the OS see much difference from anything over ~ 100 MPS?
................................................................................
.......200 MPS?

And on the flip side ... I set up those 4 Seagate drives for under $200.
Is there a reasonable dollar to MPS sort of ratio?



PS. 2MO I'm not sure what the #'s are saying, but they do look

[m.oreilly]

if you have to move a bunch of gianormous files around, a funky data base, or need to handle a ton of I/Os, yeah, you would notice the need for speed. but for rummaging around in the OS or the like, i kinda don't think you'd notice anything from 90 on...



ah, the scsi score...they are set up for high I/O traffic (write back and NCQ are enabled, along with other stuff i forgot), so the bench results look like a crazy salad...
