My RAID-0 tests and setup

Postby congo » Wed May 03, 2006 12:49 pm

Hi all,

I had wonderful couple days trying to install a WinXP-SP2 onto a RAID volume with 128kb stripe and 32kb cluster size. Seems 4kb clusters is Mr. Gates choice for us all now........ yeah right, and pigs fly!
Thanks to a cool windows deployment utility and NickN's help, I was able to build a WinXP-SP2 disk that actually installs onto larger than 4kb cluster size formatted drives. So there, Bill!

Nope...

2 Seagate Barracudas ST380817AS drives in SATA RAID-0 on an ASUS A8V VIA Controller using the latest VIA RAID drivers.

It ain't all about the drives... although the newer RAptor is a smokin disk.
