I have installed 2 Crucial 256GB C300 drives on an LSI 9240-4i SATA6 Gb/s expansion card and the results are rather disappointing.
Here's the card with a single drive....
And this is the card with two drives in RAID0....
I'm a novice with this card but as you can see the 4K and 4K-64Thrd have been crippled.
The card would only let me do a 64k stripe and I wanted to do 128k but I doubt that's the problem.
I'm pretty much totally lost. I'm not even sure if I set this card up correctly but I finally did get an Acronis image installed.
When I enter this MegaRaid storage manager I hafta log in? Is that normal?
I think I need to enable some kinda write caching but w7's device manager won't do it and I can't get the card to do it either.
I have all kinda processor errors in the device manager for my i7 CPU. What's that all about?
Looks like I need this CacheCade caching?
Can I enable the advanced firmware on this card? I thought I looked before and I couldn't.
Any help would be appreciated.
