Hi there,
I've had a RAID 0 over my motherboard for 2 1/2 years without a problem (of course everything is backuped). As a video editor I need the space and speed (12 TB SSD would be way more expensive). In the beginning I got around 400 MB read / write. Now I checked again with AJA and Blackmagic disk tools. There seems to be an anomaly: It starts pretty fast but then constantly keeps dropping. When I benched with my OS and Scratch SSD that was not the case; the speeds remained +- constant over the 4 & 16 GB Benchfiles. With the RAID 0 write ends up aroun 200, read under 100 MB (sometimes as low as 60 MB!) which seems very slow even if theres data on the RAID (4 x 3 TB WD RED, non pro)
Questions:
- does this mean one of drives starts to die?
- can I check every singel drive without deleting the RAID 0?
- should I switch to software RAID?
- would a hardware controller give me increased speeds? I thought about the Adaptec 6405 with 512 MB cache and 4 ports. I don't need anything other than RAID 0
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
PS: I just overclocked my 4930k to 4.4 Ghz with offset (voltages up to 1.38), but I guess that isn't the issue.
