Anybody know how to speed up HD access on the IWill KK266-R in Dos ? I did see an article which hinted at there being a problem when raid was used in dos with this board but I can't find it now.
I have Raid active and configured for two raid 0 arrays spanning four ide drives. Average speed when in dos 70 MB min. I had exactly the same setup on an Abit KA7-raid board with an average speed in excess of 700 MB min. What the hells goin on, is the controller crap or is it a config problem ? The only difference between the two systems is the mobo. I did a clean install of everything including formating ALL the drives( 3 times ) still no joy. If anybody has an answer I'd be grateful. <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">
