azaze1 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I'm having a strange issue on my system with buffered writes.According to benchmarks, my buffered writes are only 51 MB/sec. This is incredibly slow for a 3 drive SATA 10,000 rpm RAID 0 array. In fact, the very same program (PC Wizard 2006) on my workstation at work scores 162 MB/sec which is just a single 250 GB Seagate SATA drive @ 7200 RPM.Why would a 3 drive raid with 16MB buffers @ 10,000rpm be performing 1/3rd the rate of a single 7200rpm drive with an 8MB buffer? For the record, I have installed the nForce 590 drivers.
allen2 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Did you tried to check with a single drive ?Nforce performance in raid aren't usually very good because it's software raid. If you need faster performances, buy an hardware raid controller with cache.
