| Improvement from using RAID I got a RAID card a few weeks ago and I have be using it without any problems. I have two Seagate U10 10GB 5400rpm ATA 66 drive. Previously, when I benchmarked my HDDs read speed, I managed to get 18MB/s. Both the HDDs are connected to the primary IDE channel. Recently, I bechmarked my HDDs again and managed to get 27MB/s (read speed). I am using striped mode for my HDDs. Can I trust the benchmark results ? Another thing I wonder is, why the drives can't reach even ATA 33 speed ? However, I didn't notice much improvent from my HDDs in real life. |

| when normaly using your system you wont notice if a HD works at 20Mb/s or 40Mb/s because you hardly ever use the full bandwidth of your HD. bandwidth only is intersting if you're going to run a server or something like that. with normal dektop usage you have plenty bandwidth with ATA 100/133. on the other hand it looks good on your performance graph but you wont notice in everyday computing
