SATA2 performance boost?

[CorpX]

I'm getting a "drive index" of 59MB/sec with my sata 2 drive running on a sata1 mobo. (sisoft sandra)

By going to a mobo, I shouldnt expect any performance boost, right?

Nope.

SiSoft's disk benchmarking tools are notoriously inaccurate and non-repeatable.

hdtach gives me similiar results (with sata being ~10-15% faster).

that said, make sata the boot drive or make sata the drive with virtual mem?

I had an interesting experience in this thread.

Note that there were no real world differences between my two setups. My results that I posted are from

2 WD SATA II 80gb HD's in RAID 0 on a SATA 1 mobo with 16k stripe

and

Same hard drives in RAID 0 on SATA 2 mobo with 64k stripe.

Similar average read and access, 68% increase in burst though.
