Best performance IDE RAID config?
Dear All,
I have an Asus P4PE motherboard and I would like to setup an IDE RAID 0 (striping) disk configuration. According to the manual there are three connection options available. Does anyone know, possibly from experience, which configuration is the fastest? If I look through all the newsgroups it seems that IDE RAID 0 can be quite a performance improvement depending on what kind of apps you are running. I think I have these kind of apps but is it really a huge difference? How much percentage should I think of? In other words, is it worth it? Thanks in advance, Bart. PS: The three connection options available for creating a RAID 0 or RAID 1 array on a P4PE a a) Connect one Parallel ATA HDD to PRI_RAID1 connector and one Serial ATA HDD to either one of the two Serial ATA connectors, using separate parallel ATA or serial ATA cables b) Connect one Serial ATA HDD to each Serial ATA connector, using separate serial ATA cables c) Connect one Serial ATA HDD to the PRI_RAID1 connector, and one Serial ATA HDD to either one of the two serial ATA connectors, using separate parallel/serial ATA cables. |

On a home sys any performance increase is likely to be missed if you blink

You can also use a sata to ide adapter that goes between a sata cable and an
IDE drive, fooling the board into thinking you have a serial drive. "News@Bart" wrote in message om...

A small RAID 0 might be good for your OS drive, and a large RAID 0 for doing video capture and processing. Other than that you probably don't need it. |
