Sandra Fiel System Benchmark results:
RAID O score - 52383 kB/s
IDE Channel score - 26650 kB/s
There's a speed boost!! 64kB chunks was my setup... anyone recommend anything better? I have an Iwill XP333-R running 2 10GB WD drives in RAID 0, and I'm pretty sure Deathstar talked me inot 64kb back when I set that rig up...

The best "chunk (AKA Cluster Size or Allocation Unit Size) depends on many factors O/S, the drives, controller, your file and program usage, etc. The best way to find the optimum for your system is experiment, since you have plenty of space for a backup/image, it should be fairly easy to try different setups |
