I've built a few computers in the past, and I'm expericing the same thing now, I can't see a difference. I'd just purchased a gateway FX6400 gamer, since I couldn't build one for that price never mind putting in the 950 CPU. I decided to try raid again and did some research on hard drives at tomshardware.com and came up with Samsung spinpoints 500G. I created a partitioned volume on the 2 samsung drives, and moved the image to the largest partition.
I'm using Win 7 and come up with a 5.9 for the hard drives in the raid volume, I get a 5.9 using a standard hard drive, in another computer I get a 5.9 for the hard drive.
I'm not familar with software to measure hard drive performance and would't know where to get it. I thought of using a raid controller card (lower priced) but worried about compatability problems. In the past I remember using floppy's to install the raid drivers now there are no floppy's.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
