23 Double the space & Triple the happiness

Bookmark and Share




Hey guys just expanded my storage with 2x 500GB SG 7200.12 drives. The drives rock in RAID. Ordered both from ebay. some pics.





The seller sent a DVD with some eng/hindi movies and video songs + some HD documentaries. Nice gesture


And why "Triple the happiness?" I used the ebay gifts offer and chose a bluetooth headset. To my extreme surprise the headset came a day before the harddrive itself .. EBAY ROCKS



And how I setup the RAID in BIOS. THanks to Intel matrix RAID i was able to set both RAID0 and RAID1 with just 2 drives. OS and games in RAID 0. Some general stuff in RAID1


Here are some benchies. The avg read speeds are awesome. The random access times are good because my RAID0 takes only 30% of space in the fastest area of the drives.




For some reason write is not as good as read :S


Backed up the disk images of RAID0 OS partitions to RAID1 partitions. These 2 drives brought my storage to 3TB Feedbacks/suggestions welcome

Re: Double the space & Triple the happiness

Amazing speed there, mate.
I am blown away.
a little OT. Hey FR when you come here is there something like this Intel ICH10 raid matrix on AMD platform or not?
and what about the image creation and restoration? how will that work on a raid 0?
lots of questions and answers...

thanks guys..

@stoned: Yeah thats true. Do you know why read speeds in RAID1 are equal to just a single drive? I mean data is duplicated and only half of the data should be read from each drive.
I understand that write speeds in RAID1 will be like a single drive as complete data needs to be written to both drives

By slow I meant it isn't up to my expectations. When read was over 250+MBps I expected write avg to be 200MBps+
