Raid 0 Results
New to the forum.
Was just looking for a place to upload screen shots.
Thinking about ordering/testing with a 4th drive.
1. MSI 880GM-E41 (Using SB710/RAID)
2. AMD Athlon II X4 645 Propus 3.1GHz
3. Mushkin (996586) - 8GB 4x2GB
4. Seagate Constellation ES ST3500514NS 500GB
Windows 7 / 64bit
Single Bare Drive:
Notes: Tested on drive #2 (connected to sata port #2)
Notes: I'd probly ignore the CPU usage result on HD Tune here ^
Raid 0 - 2 Drives - 64KB Stripe
Notes: Used Drivers provided on MSI CD
RAID 0 - 2 Drives - 128KB Stripe
Notes: Used latest downloaded drivers from MSI
Raid 0 - 3 Drives - 64KB Stripe
Notes: Used latest downloaded drivers from MSI
Raid 0 - 3 Drives - 128KB Stripe

I believe the downloaded drivers version is the same as the CD but
i started using the downloaded copy because of convenience in using a USB
stick vs taking the windows cd in/out
The machine is slightly overclocked i do not have the exact specs atm i will
update the post later on w/that
I'll probly edit this post a few times.
