I finally have my disk subsystem where I want it to be. After a couple weeks of waiting, I got my two WD-SE 120GB drives.
I'm running NTFS. I striped them (64kb block size) on a 3Ware 7000-2 ATA Raid controller. Running W2KSP3.
I tested the system partition, which is a 40GB partition I created on the 237GB (after partitioning/formatting) array. Damn, this thing flies in the benchmarks!!!!! Can't wait to get some big@ss games loaded up so I can test it "real world." Thanks to those that steered me towards the 3Ware; it cooks! All I have is ATTO. I don't have the full version of HDTach, so I can't use that proggy. ATTO is pretty well accepted, though. Sweet!
