Show us your hard drive performance

I would not worry about the UDMA mode 5 versus 6. You would hardly note a difference - maybe a little in RAID0 or if you transferred data from one disk to another on the same channel.

here is mine - AHCI mode

 

[Billy]

Not too bad I hope

Just turned AHCI on, edited registry and all, and it seemed to make my drive slower. Is this normal?

 

[Wishmaster]

Run it again and it may be a point or 2 higher.
iwouldn't worry to much about it though. As much as it's off, not even 1Mb/s, i would consider it as a margin of error nothing more.

ACHI mode doesn't always offer more performace, depending on your setup.chipset etc.

Quick test on the HD's 4-WD160GB Blue Label in Raid 0 Also waiting for the SSD drives to drop in price.

Also waiting for the SSD drives to drop in price.

That would be nice. I am afraid, we'll have to wait another 3 years before there is a significant drop in price.

What makes you so specific about 3 years?

I don't think it will take that long at all. In fact, i started looking at the Intel 80GB drives when they were over $500 and when I bought mine I found it for $249-$289. So, within about 1 year they dropped in price by 1/2. As more and more mfg's get into the game with strong controller (Indillinx and SandForce)...you will see more drives and better prices.

Unfortuantely, from what I have read....due to recessions and slower economies worldwide...pc production and part production has slowed thus resulting in slightly higher prices and that trend is expected to continue for the next year or so. For example, look at the price of memory..specifically DDR2. It's has nearly doubled in the past 6 months.
