Chipset Serial ATA RAID Performance Exposed

TheRaindog writes "Serial ATA RAID has become a common check-box feature for new motherboards, but The Tech Report's chipset Serial ATA and RAID comparison reveals that the performance of Intel, NVIDIA, SiS, and VIA's SATA RAID implementations can be anything but common. There are distinct and sometimes alarming performance differences between each chipset's Serial ATA and RAID implementations. It's also interesting to see performance scale from single-drive configurations to multi-disk arrays, which don't offer as much of a performance gain in day-to-day applications as one might expect."

Yes, beer is important too.

Re:neat - but who knows how to set this RAID up???

I'll just ignore you I think since you wrote two paragraphs and then in the third completely negated your entire statement. Typical quality of slashdot posts these days.....
