Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro slow HDD performance

[ott]

Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro (nForce 2) matched with

WD1200JB
WB800JB
IBM Deskstar 40's (RAID 0)

On my previous Mainboard EPOX 8KHA+ I was getting about 30K; with the
WD1200JB (SiSoftware Sandra 2002 Professional) with the new Mainboard I'm
only getting 20K (ATA100 setting in BIOS and XP set).

I've looked for updated nForce drivers but the situation seems a bit
confusing 2.41 was out and now the latest seems to be 2.03.

Any similar experiences.

The reason the 2.41's were pulled was because of poor IDE performance.
Which version did you install?
Under Device Mangler do your IDE devices show as SCSI?
If so, that is a telltale sign of your problem.
The fix is to change the driver to the default Micro$oft drivers.
