Just rebuilt my PC with a SATA RAID hard drive array (mirror) using a
Siig SATA-300 controller, and win XP. Last one was win2000, single
SATA drive but used to be a RAID mirror too.
All works fine but there is massive disk activity running certain apps
which write a lot of small files. The activity takes a very long time,
about 10-100x longer than it should, or used to under win2000. In
particular, the exit newsgroup purging which Agent newsreader does is
extremely slow.
Big file reads and writes (say 50MB) are quick.
Has anyone come across this under XP, or with certain SATA
controllers?
I have contacted Siig but they don't support their products.
My experience of these controllers is that they speed up HD ops
massively, whether SCSI or SATA (both of which I have used extensively
under NT4 and win2000).
