Thats the board. I have two of these. First one is running 2 drives in RAID1 mirror. Good speed. 150MB/sec R/W approximately.
Second one is a RAID5 strip. Read speeds are also around 150MB/sec, however the write speed is deplorable. I'm getting MAYBE if I'm lucky 17MB/sec. Could the parity really be causing an almost 90% reduction in speed. This doesnt sound right at all. I know software raid normally produces some less than desired results for performance, but this is BAD. None of the comments on the newegg page mention RAID5. People have used 1 and 0 without issue. And even I'm using RAID1 w/ out issue.
Intel RAID controller says the array is in good condition and the drives are healthy.
Ideas?
