Hi Everyone,

I was doing a routine check on things today and I noticed that My
RaptorX 150gb hard drive only has a maximum transfer rate of
9mb/sec...according to vistas Reliability and Performance monitor. This
is the result when saving a large file in Photoshop ( 1.5gb ).

Can this be right?

I haven't installed any drivers for the Raptors as I just let Vista
install what it needed when I installed it. Any way to boost performance
on this drive?

Many thanks

Chris

No specific drivers are needed for the hard drive itself, just the SATA
controller. With most controllers, to get any sort of performance
you'll probably want AHCI mode, with NCQ enabled.

However, older SATA controllers simply don't perform as well, and may
actually perform worse then EIDE, especially if the EIDE controller is
part of the Northbridge and the SATA controller is attached to an
already overloaded portion of the PCI bus.

I tried AHCI mode but windows BSOD while it loaded.....which is a little
annoying
