I have an Epox 8RDA3+ MB with the onboard Silicon Image Sil3112 SATA RAID Controller. I installed a Seagate Barracuda Serial ATA V SATA (80 Gig). It is my only drive, so there is no RAID. It is VERY slow at loading programs. I went to the www.siimage.com site and download the newest driver and it helped a little but it still is much slower than it should be. I used HD Tach v2.70 to test the drive and here are the numbers: Read Speed: MAX: 44.8 MB/s Min: 28.9 MB/s AVG: 39.5 MB/s. Is it just me or is that slow for a SATA 150 Drive? I am thinking of trying a seperate Promise SATA150 TX2plus Controller Card to see if it will make a difference. Can anyone figure out what may be the problem with the onboard SATA Controller
