Hi all,
I've been running my 2 WD RE3's in RAID0 for a month or 2 now & although Vista feels snappier & game sload a bit faster etc I'm not entirely happy at how long Vista takes to load.
I was running a Sammy F1 500g as my boot drive & I would say from pressing the button to being on the desktop took around 30 seconds, the green bar swept along the screen 2-3 times during loading.
Now with my 2x320g drives in RAID 0 it takes over 1 minute to load Vista, the green bar passes over the screen 9-10 times during loading, while I'm very happy with the performance of the drives after vista loads I would like to cut the loading time down.
I have tried cutting down what is loaded in Vista but in all honesty it is double the time it took for the same installation on a single drive. If this is normal for RAID then I guess I'll live with it, I get a bit niggled if I feel something is wrong & I need to try to fix it if that is the case.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
PC Specs are :-
ASUS P5Q-E motherboard
Q6600@ 3.6
2 WD RE3 320g drives in RAID0 on the ICH10R controller
2 500g drives for backup
If you need any more info please ask......I'm stuck on this one lol.
