You see I have two 2 raid controllers on my mobo A8R32-mvp Deluxe. If I put a raptor which is a sata I on the ULI raid controller and I also put 3 320 sata II on the same controller will the sata II lose speed because of the 1 sata I drive on there?
 
If the drives are all on the same raid volume i would say yes it's going to drop the drive speed down across the controller, but no drive itself is going to max out it's lane so it shouldn't be a problem, you might loose NCQ. I'm not possitive on this though
 
I am running the raptor by itself and the other 3 drives as a raid 5.

Thanks. Im not used to sata yet. I'm an old scsi person.:p :D
 
I'd say it shouldn't drop it down to sataI, best way is to try it out and see.
 
It shouldn't make all the drives run at SATA-I, but even if it did there's not much of a bottleneck there for those drives.

Most RAID 5 reviews I've read are not as promising as it is on paper with disappointing write speeds unless a lot has changed recently. Have you tried RAID 5 with good mass write speeds in the past? If so which controller?
 
Thanks I have 5 drives running 4 in raid 5 and the 1 raptor. Things are working fine now.
This is my entertainment center computer and play computer. Now to see how I can overclock this sucker.:eek:
