![]() ![]() For instance, they might be 3 or 4 years old. It's not TERRIBLY slow, but that sort of makes me think that the drives may have a little age on them. Oh, and about what I said about the hard drive performance. Also, it'd be good to download and do a quick scan with SuperAntiSpyware FREE Edition, also from RE: Poor RAID1 array performance kjv1611 (IS/IT - Management) 14 Apr 10 07:48 and if it does find anything, rescan after the reboot. If it does find anything, you might want to mention what it found here. I personally would go with one of the free options: Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira Antivir, AVG, Avast! But for the quickest check on things, download Malwarebytes Antimalware from and run a quick scan with it, remove anything it finds, reboot if necessary. If you got a new machine, and it came with a trial of an AV product that ran out, you need to renew, or go with another option. With that in mind, also make sure you have an up to date antivirus. Make sure there's no malware running in your system. Try running a general clean-up tool or two or 3, and see if they fix any issues:įrom - Glary Utilities, CCleaner, Advanced System Care.ģ. There's a tool you can download to check it on Intel's website.Ģ. Check to see if a driver update is available for your Intel chipset. Though, the system would be a little more responsive with a Raptor or Velociraptor for system duties, and even moreso with an SSD, but here we're talking money.ġ. Especially if it's a Samsung F3 drive - VERY nice drives. How old are the drives? If you could live with no RAID for the system drive, and just create a restore image instead, then you could run the system from the Samsung 500GB drive (which model is it?), and have a much faster system, regardless. Your system RAID looks like it has very slow speeds for modern hard drives. Louie RE: Poor RAID1 array performance kjv1611 (IS/IT - Management) 14 Apr 10 07:43 (once done, the files took 4-5 minutes to be copied from the stick to the other machine running linux and a similar RAID1 setup) ![]() I had the same misrable performance trying to copy the files over the network or even burn them on a DVD.īasically all read and write operations are extremely slow I plugged a memory stick, and the process took over 55 minute to complete!!! ![]() I ran a benchmark on the arrays (HD Tach) and the results seem pretty okay somehow:Īctually the reason i decided to post this, is today i had to copy a few files around 4GB in size to another machine I have enabled read/write cache enabled on all volumes, same result. I thought the additional array is adding an overhead, so i booted up with it disconnected (i physically unplugged both 1TB drives, and the volume E disappeared), i also unplugged the standalone drive D from the other controller, bascially leaving the main volume alone.
