I have a Raid 0 setup on my HTPC, it has been up and running for a few months, over the last few weeks things have been going very very slow... esp deleting things and accessing stored data
it is setup as follows:
1.5TB Seagate 5900RPM 32mb buffer x (3)
the this divided into 2 containers
#1 256GB:
this container is used for booting, OS and primary programs
#2 (about) 4tb
this container is used for storage movies, TV, Music, and recording of TV (3 digital over the air feeds and 3 analog cable feeds) as well as an FM radio feed...
My guess is that as the storage/recording container get more and more full the hard rives are being forced to jump back and forth between the Boot/OS container and the storage/recording container
so what should I do?
the system specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel q8200 @ 2.8GHz
Mobo: Abit IP35 Pro
RAM: 2 x 2GB DDR 800 and 2 x 512MB DDR 800
Video: ATI 4650 512MB
Tuner Cards: Hauppage HVR-1600 (x2) Hauppage HVR-2200 (both are dual tuner cards, the later has FM tuner as well)
Hard Drives: listed above
Optical disc: Sony 2x Blu Ray reader
sound card: cheap USB card with optical audio outs
Remote: Snapstream Firefly (RF)
OS: Windows Vista x64
Tuner Program: Snapstream Beyond TV
