Raid 0...

[iMORT3rnAL]

I recently decided to setup Raid 0 on my machine and I was pleasantly surprised with the performance since a lot of people told my that it's not worth it. Curious as to how my drives would perform on a benchmark I ran HDTach.

I'm running two Seagate SATA2 500GB 7200.12 (ST3500418AS) drives on an integrated Intel ICH10R storage controller. My strip size is 64KB and I've enabled the Volume Write-Back Cache option.

Please note that with the Volume Write-Back Cache option enabled the risk of data loss is a lot higher, use with caution.

Well.. or you could have just not used RAID for even better performance. nudge nudge wink wink...

I am guessing though that you did not use RAID 0 for recovery? Since 0 is the exact number files you will get back if your drives fail with RAID 0.

Nice Desktop BTW... could not help notice the Alien Icon.

Yes I'm well aware of the risks involved.

Thanks
