  • nvraid performance

    I heard bad things about nvidias raid controller built into the nf4 and nf5 motherboards.

    I am currently using nvraid and my results are below.
    I am running 3x 150 gig WD raptors 10k rpm in raid 5

    does anyone else out there have a similar setup using a non nvraid controller? and if so how do the results stack up?
    I'm trying to find out if it's worth forking out for a pci raid controller or not.

    Our last experience with a PCI Raid controller with 64bit was just awful. I would suggest that your current results are pretty reasonable and unless it is broken don't fix it.
