i have an asus a7v133 motherboard. it has two ide controlers, the standard ide controller and the promise on which supports raid 0.
i have no plans to use raid 0.
however, in a moment of boredom, i tried my harddrive on my standard ide and the promise controller to see which ws fastest.
it turned out that the promise was faster at writing while the standard ide was faster at reading. which would you reccomend i use for max performance?
