fancy raid settups.. i might get another 320gb for raid later on
Im surpised how well it held up, no huge spikes, fairly even all the way to the end
look at that access time
I love the RAID setup. It's simple because Windows recognizes it as one big 640GB drive, so I don't have to split up files to one or the other drive. It's also very fast as you can see.
Is your Seagate 320GB the 16MB cache 7200RPM version? If it is, it's the same as I have. You really should get another, they were $60 at Best Buy on Black Friday, so I grabbed me some gems. There was no need to manually load a driver while using Vista as well.

this is an IDE 160GB in an external enclosure connected by USB to the comp. it's turtle slow but has a very constant line

Blame that on the max throughput of USB (20-25MBps)this is an IDE 160GB in an external enclosure connected by USB to the comp. it's turtle slow but has a very constant line

how come generally, the trend is that most of them decrease in performance near the end of the benchmark?

I believe it has to do with using the onboard SATA/IDE controller. And a few of the RAID setups have dips as well, although mine was pretty consistent.
