ICHxR Raid Performance

Hard Drive

Hard Drive

This article I located while just digging around, it has some good information although I would have liked to had some screenshots of the hardware testing that I did with all sorts of disk benchmarking tools. Too bad I didn’t think to keep those around for over a year. Oh well…. enjoy.

After a long time of running RAID0 I decided that there comes a time in every persons life that protecting from data loss is very important. Years of pictures, videos, music, documents, and other files can be lost with a catastrophic incident, with that in mind I set out on the road to see what I could do.
