Hey guys,
well i have 2 Seagate Cheetah 18 GB Ultra2 10k SCSI HD ST118202LC drives in raid 0 hooked up to a mylex extremeraid 1100 Ultra2 2 port scsi raid controller with 32mb ram. When i connect 1 drive to this hdtach benchmarks rates it as 32 mb/ burst and 16mb/max. When i connect it to my usual raid 0 (both hds) it hits around 64/mb burst and 33mb/max. I was just wondering how these 10k cheetahs in raid 0 can't beat my brother's 40 gig 7.2k ide hard drive. I mean that thing gets 90mb/burst and like 52mb max. I tried another benchmark such as sandra and results still are low. I was thinking it was the controller but can anyone give me their bechmarks (better if it's the same type). Feedback appreciated.
