I should get one of those! g Actually, a benchmark on TomsHardware OC'd a Pentium-M (relative of PIII) and it beat the fastest P4s and AMDs. Intel should take note. If the chipset on your PIII motherboard was made by Hightpoint, there may well have been some processing on board. I can't imagine a modern 'consumer' motherboard containing the equivalent of a $400 Raid processor, though. Nor can I imagine anyone doing anything but running Raid 1 on a normal motherboard Raid controller. I suppose there may be some advantage in Raid 0 if it's necessary to create a 500+gb volume, but it can't be very fast. |

After having trouble tracing cables back to a given drive and
determining which drive letter that represents, it occured to me that someone must have written a utility to do this already. IOW, show that a Seagate 400gb is attached as master on cable 1 of the Adaptec ATA controller, etc. Kinda like CPU-Z but for drives. Anyone know if this exists? |

Embarrassing that I never noticed that option in devmgmnt before. In the course of looking around, I found this program: http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm It doesn't do specifically what I wanted, but it may be of use to some. It does show detailed info on drives. Unfortunately, it doesn't find devices on other controllers (3ware and Adaptec PCI controllers, both mapped as SCSI). |
