Hi, everyone. I have what I think is a weird HD Tach result and I was wondering if anyone could help me understand it


Two 150 GB Raptors in Raid 0 on an nforce4 raid controller, XP SP2. I don't understand why it's basically flat with weird spikes. It almost looks as if the read is being limited by something, but then why does it go up occasionally?

Any ideas?

Carrying on from this post i wrote 2 years ago

Post your HDTach 3 Results!

I've got a new rig
MBM is a P5Q with the "R" south bridge . I now have 6 disk in raid 5
the strip size is set to 64kb

im disappointed with the pc mark 05 score
Suite: HDD Test Suite
Test set: HDD - XP Startup
HDD - XP Startup: 11.726002MB/s
Test set: HDD - Application Loading
HDD - Application Loading: 5.225879MB/s
Test set: HDD - General Usage
HDD - General Usage: 5.529953MB/s
Test set: HDD - Virus Scan

the inbuilt vista test thing only rated my HD performance 0.2 hire than the PC i have with only one 40g gb disk .

However the HD tach score is much improved

nice results ultra....

what hardrives you using again?

btw xerkon.

your nforce 4 raid results are fairly accurate.. your sevearly limited by your motherboard chipset itself..

in some cases i ended up with complete corruption using the nforce raid controller..... be cautious about it though.

Here's mine for my single WD drive. I have it in four partitions, a 390G partition for Vista, a 97 gig partition for Ubuntu, a 4Gig partition that Ubuntu made also, and a 105 gig partition that contains the image of the Vista partition.
