I have not added any raid controllers to the montherboard. From motherboard box... Storage/RAID nForce4 Storage: 4 x SATA II 2 x UltraDMA 133/100/66/33 NVRAID : RAID0, RAID1, RAID 0+1, Software RAID 5, and JBOD spam cross SATA and PATA

Write speed of a single drive when not setup in a raid array is 37.8 MB/second Write speed to the drives when in a raid 5 array is 0.89 MB/second. Can anyone help on why the write speed is so slow. It is very noticeable. I'm constantly waiting on the hard drive light to go off before I am able to do anything.
