thanks for everything.
I messed-up up... I had the burner plugged into the Intel controller. The drive is not working from the Marvell controller.mickrussom wrote:If you are using the black ICH7R ports, and don't care to use the broken dangerous non-WHQL Marvell crap ports, simply disable that piece of trash ASIC in the BIOS. There is an option to disable the secondary SATA controller there.progolf wrote:
RAID0 without spindle synchronization will be SLOWER than a single drive if your application does a lot of short reads.I used the Raid0 array for data storage for Access databases (yes I backed them up often). ... To be honest running database with this macro on a stand alone drive versus the Raid0 array just a bit quicker (16 minutes 30 seconds versus 17 minutes 15 seconds). Granted this could have been an anomaly but it proved to me that Raid0 in MY system was a waste of money and drives. Honestly, before I made the switch to single drives, I would have argued with anyone making the previous statement.
