@lansalot and Arcanedeath, this discussion isn't aimed at FPS in some game.
It's about general system performance tuning with the help of disk systems. Faster disk WILL lead to a much faster system. Not in some FPS game where the area you're at is already loaded into memory, everyone...
Yeah, no surprise that the on-board Intel RAID chipset gave no performance benefits... I hadn't counted on that either ;) The onboard chipset RAID is just a way for mobo-manufacturers to tick another feature in their list.
But there must med RAID cards for SATA that DOES increase performance...
RAID indeed has the theoretical option to make systems faster. On servers that's the de-facto case using controllers that off-load the CPU and have high through-put etc, and RAID 0 (striping) or RAID 0+1 (strpingi + mirroring) is the fastest configuration. All basic knowledge.
The problem...
Is there any SATA RAID cards that delivers more end-performance than your average good harddrive (like the Maxtor MaXLine III for example)?
Ie; is it worth getting RAID (RAID0 or 0+1 for example) from a performance perspective?
What would you recommend? Should I get SCSI, which has less...
