Well, as far as I know, HPT and other cheap "RAID" controllers really don't give you that good performance. Even if you use them in Windows. :( Actually, these cards have the RAID part performed by the driver, they just have a way so that it ca be transparent to the OS. I suggest that you don't use the card's built-in hardware RAID and just use software RAID. Or the alternative is that you should buy a real hardware RAID card for ATA/SATA hard drives like 3ware Escalade. -- Gideon N. Guillen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take back the web!
