Raid vs single disk - Windows 7 boot times with 1x vs 2x vs 4x, 7200 Rpm drives.

Good video. Simple and informative. Just what I was looking for! But next time try putting down your cam/phone on a desk or something! :) And yea like others mentioned refreshing choice of background music! :)

[aschris87]

what is the best block size?

[FubarVader]

i have the ASUS z68 MB running 8 gig ram, 2 x ssc running in raid 0, i5 processor. Start up time just under 10 seconds. bin the drives mate go SSC.

Thanks for the info. This was the only vid that came up with this comparison. I found it interesting. SSDs are too much for too little IMO. It's nice to know Raid0 is a fast alt... Oh and the music is quit soothing while sitting here ...watching windows load...

could i run a 1.5tb disk with a smaller disk (512gb?) in RAID 0 Config?

[goldenboyfx124]

@colinprprpr Yes, you can partition it as you like. These 500 gb drives were partititioned into 2* 250 across C: and D:

[FubarVader]

@colinprprpr yes but from my understanding storage space will be reduced to 2 x 512 gb, also the slow drive will dictact speed so its a no brainer, save some cash and get two identical drives,

is this using sata 6? or 3?

[goldenboyfx124]

@dashiznit6931 3

[rowanlewisuk]

Helpfull video, thanks.

[GamerX7800X]

Yup,.. its called ''EFI''

[krihan66]

can you do this with 3 tb discs ?

[goldenboyfx124]

@krihan66 Sure can

i've never seen such a beautiful bios before ^^

[ModernNerdGirl]

If you have raid enabled with the motherboard sata (not a raid card) does that increase idle cpu utilization?

Thanks for the video dude, I was looking for something like this. Have got 2 Western Digital Black 7200 64MB Cache 500GB drives in the mail, I might just decide to add another two drives later. The Mushkin Sandforce SSD in my notebook PC is brilliant but I'm starting to think that going full out RAID on my desktop might be better. I will miss the access time on that SSD though... :P

[TheHobbitGamer]

Nice video. Are these bios's limited to the P67 boards, or could someone with a crosshair IV run it. If you don't know well then it's alright :)

[goldenboyfx124]

@TheHobbitGamer No idea..!

[robineterie]

@foudubmx Yes it is a "click bios". It is on the new p67 motherboard.

[goldenboyfx124]

@foudubmx Asus P8p67

[goldenboyfx124]

@foudubmx Yes
