winxp & raid 0

[Guest]

hi, I was wondering why winxp transfer file the same speed no mater how the HD's are fast
I bench mark my HD it gives me 140mb/s on raid 0. When I move a file from partition C to D within same raid stripe why would it be so slow in copying & pasting!!. I measure time it only transfer on 11mb/s!!!

how can I get my sata raid drives to operate at max with moving files?

well, I got 2 Sata WD75GB raptors 10000rpm on an on chip via controler that has the bus speed as its limited bandwidth, my mobo is an ABIT KV8-MAX3

when I tranfer lets say a 500MB file from on folder to another or partition to another It tranfer it in 3 seconds, but when I tranfer 1gb or more the tranfer become rediculous like it takes 5 min!!

Is this an OS issue? or is it just the hardware? if its harware why would it move 500 mb in 3 second but wont move 1GB in 6 sec

thank yo

How much RAM and virtual memory do you have?
