I just bought a second WD Black HDD and was wanting to put them in raid 0. When I put them in raid they had minimum transfer of 1.5 and maximum of 188 with an average of 90. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to do with tler?
The drives are both wd6401aals.
 
You're note doing anything wrong. Can you download HDTune Pro and post three things:
- standard benchmark
- file benchmark
- random I/O

That should tell if the performance level of your array is proper.
 
Standard benchmark
Min - 4.8
Max - 177.8
Average- 130
Access - 13.2
Burst- 173.6

File Benchmark
Don't know what I'm looking for here but the Highest read is 215ish and the highest write is 170ish

Random Seek - 12.9ms
Butterfly Seek - 11.9ms
Random Seek / size 64 kb -12.6ms
Random Seek / size 8MB - 43ms
Seq. read outer - .5ms
middle - .4ms
inner - .6ms
burst - .4ms
 
The only number that is out of whack is min. However it depends on how that is calculated. If that is a random read or write this is actually good for mechanical disks.
 
No its just a spike because he has his OS on there. Numbers look fine to me.
