Hi All. I have an Asus CUSL2 and a Promise Fasttrak Raid 66 card, and the problem is that when writing large files to my striped array, the system will "stall" for about 1-2 seconds and then continue to write. The setup is that both drives are Masters on channels 1 & 2. The exact same setup on my old P3V4X worked fine. I've reinstalled Windows and everything like that and still the same problem.
I've tried moving the drives to different combinations of master/slaves and found that if i set up the array for master/slave on a single channel, the problem went away however the drive performance dropped significantly. I'm using the latest bios and drivers for everything, and i've tried different values of the PCI latency in the motherboard BIOS as well. Also tried different PCI slots. Does anybody else have this combination that is working fine, or know what the possible problem might be? I can't think of anything since it worked fine in the P3V4X other then that maybe there is some incompatibility between the Fasttrak and the CUSL2...thanks in advance!
