Formatting Sata
Just wondering if anyone has noticed time differences while formatting sata drives.
I have used both onboard Via sata controllers and Silicon Image onboard.
There appears to be a vast difference in the time it takes to format them as far as I can see using the same method.
Also using the same drives Seagate in particular
That is booting off the XP cd and create partition and format
The Via at least for me formats an 80 gig drive in minutes while the Silicon image is much much slower
Both controllers had the latest drivers
