or, just buy a SATA2 drive and be done with it

giorgos th. · Aug 26, 2006

my barracuda is a sata II drive,but the mobo gets only sata I.
_33 i`m just waiting to be paid..then i`ll probably get another one.

long read.

heres a quick one-

This would denote a oversaturated bus, more information than the system could possibly be moving even at 100% throughput.

It is a flaw in the program.

Well, good luck. I did that 2 weeks ago, and I have to say it's highly recommended. It's a defacto for my future systems. I didn't yet post my benchmarks because I have to change cluster size. It's currently set at a ridiculous 4K. It's going to be changed probably to 16K, and put the stripe size to 16K also.

Between his system and your, I would say yours is badly configurated, and his is perfectly set up. How big is your stripe size?

CRAPPY RAID PERFORMANCE THREAD

zekrahminator · Aug 26, 2006

Yes, I know, compared to all of yours, it sucks. But this is just a single drive, and it kicks the crap out of a comparable Seagate Barracuda. It's supposed to be SATA2 but my onboard SATA2 controller has "issues". 7200RPM, SATA2 in an SATA slot, 160GB. It does what I want it to do

what the hell are you playing halo for boy? at least play halo 2

Deleted member 24505 · Aug 26, 2006

how can i check my stripe and cluster sizes.

oh and my first test pic i posted was a long one and it was 326mb/sec,can i have that as my score please as it was faster by 3mb/sec?.

zekrahminator · Aug 26, 2006

I play Halo because it kicks ass and Halo 2 hasn't come out for the PC yet :laugh:

.

Ketxxx · Aug 26, 2006

i saw a m8 playing a port of sorts yesterday, i suggest you do the same cos halo sucks

Your stripe size usually can be seen in the RAID tool that comes with your card/motherboard. Otherwise, the best you might do is check with Partition Magic 8.05 and use that to fine tune your cluster size. But as it seems, you already have a pretty good setup / performance IMHO. I wouldn't see much more than 325 MB/s burst rate to be achievable. But I'm not an expert. Your benches seem fairly decent. Have you disabled read cache?

nop, giorgos th., steevo and mikelopez have to run the test too in long (if they haven't, and want to stay on the list), you can try it out aafter a reformat, or a defrag for more pts

giorgos th. · Aug 26, 2006

my second result is from a long read test.

pt · Aug 26, 2006

sry giorgos th., forgot you already posted your score in long

does anyone has a raid0 here with more than 2 hdd?

Unoptimized bench

Here are my results from my unoptimized 64K stripe 4K cluster setting. I couldn't switch to 16K cluster from PM 8.05 as it generated an error after doing so and reverted back to 4K. The optimum setting I will eventually use is 16K/16K. These results are with read cache set to off. Also to be noted, one disk is almost 1 year old and the other is barely 2 weeks old, but both are Western Digital WD2500KS-00MJB0.

I'll be joining you guys here, soon!

Alec§taar · Aug 26, 2006

pt, something for you to scan:

A perpendicular recording disk's results, vs my own setup in my sig below!

(I will be using those scores, bit busy today doing the AquaMark 3 test scores & avg.'ing them out, so I will post those results here, mine that is...)

INSTG8R's SEAGATE "PERPENDICULAR RECORDING TECHNOLOGY" DISK RESULTS (SATA 2 single drive):

http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=13650

* I suppose we could be "crafty" & "appropriate/borrow" his score image for THIS thread too, don't ya think?

LOL!

APK WD "Raptor 'X'" disks IN RAID 0 Array via Promise Caching 128mb ECC RAM controller (SATA 1 RAID 0 - NOTE the 0% cpu utilization!):

APK CENATEK "ROCKETDRIVE" SOLID-STATE DISK PCI2.2 bus/PC-133 SDRAM RESULTS (note the seek/access time & AVG. READ vs. my std. HDD RAID 0 even AND INSTG8R's perp tech disk):

(I added in the SSD's scores I use as well, just for comparison... I cannot wait for the DDRDrive x1 PCI-Express bus using/DDR-RAM using model this Solid-State disk will be... it will blow the one I use, away, imo!)

APK

P.S.=> On reads, he KILLED me, but on CPU-use & Seek/Access times? I won those, hands-down... apk

Deleted member 24505 · Aug 26, 2006

any more hitachi's to compare to mine.

Yik · Aug 26, 2006

A quick defrag gave me slightly better results than before;

Heres my Maxtor 80GB IDE (DM8 or 9)

Also, I have a partition that stores my page file on my WD drive. The PF partition's FS is Fat32. Would this be likely to lwoer my results?

pt · Aug 26, 2006

scores updated, and new rules (can enter more than one hdd)
can anyone tell me how 2x80gb hitachi beated 2xraptors? :confused:

_33 wich score should i post?

Argh, FRIGGIN' TIGGER69!!!

(Ever my Achilles in tests, & me being Hector of Troy of course vs. he... lol!)

* He just has FAST disks apparently!

(HOWEVER, they ARE raid 0 as well like mine are BUT he is running SATA II (better transfer rates than SATA I) vs. my SATA I's in RAID 0).

pt, you ought to "bust those apart" more as far as categories, & good reason for it, technical ones:

Just my opinion/just a thought upon closer inspection of the charts!

There ARE superior things in SATA 2 iirc, like upper transfer ceilings being greater than 150mb/sec in SATA 2 for instance, vs. SATA 1...

(Thus, not exactly a "FAIR" comparison & may justify doing an SATA 1 category separate from SATA 2 , rather than keeping them in the SAME GROUP)...

Disks are the MOST interesting thing on computers imo, because they are the slowest thing (I am one for the underdog, the long-shots out there in life).

APK

P.S.=> AND... give it time, more folks WILL join this, they usually do... but, takes time is all, I know this from the two tests I charted in Sciencemark 2.0 & AquaMark3...

(EDIT) IMPORTANT #1: pt, add INSTG8R's score from the test I did w/ him... I am certain the man wouldn't mind @ all, I mean... would you? The photo's legit & all that...

(EDIT) IMPORTANT #1: pt, it may be a pain, but can you do charts for the seek/access & also CPU usage as well? Make the review/test MORE COMPREHENSIVE, because the data is there after all... READ scores alone do NOT tell the complete story on diskdrives! apk
