Performance Tips
Here are some tips that may optimize performance in a RAID 0 striped array. If
you are using an audio/video-editing card, we also recommend reviewing your
card’s documentation for additional information.
Use a FastTrak array as D: or other non-bootable drive in a Striped Array
For Audio/Video editing, keep the original system boot drive on the standard IDE
controller as C: drive. Partitioning software such as FDISK will see the array as
one physical drive, D: or later. This will prevent file fragmentation and provide
better accessibility to the array.
Re-Configure PCI Latency Setting
The PCI Latency setting appears in some Motherboard BIOS. The setting
governs how much time is allocated to service each PCI slot. Promise
recommends a value of 64. An optimal value will vary from system to system.
