Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 He/she is running optical drives on what looks to be a RAID card or similar. I can?t imagine how much fun that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 cheap raid card flashed with non raid(hacked?) ide bios of course I prefer a case that doesn't require a furniture dolly to move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Or onboard RAID controllers. Makes no difference either way given the amount of problems we?ve seen over the years with optical drives plugged into non-IDE/non-scsi controllers. Putting a crappy CD/DVD reader/burner on a controller that?s ATA133 seems a bit pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) they seem to have found the trick over at cdfreaks, way over my head tho just like getting usb2 to do over 15x? I can only get 12 MB/s myself Edited April 16, 2006 by chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yeah but it?s still pointless. 16x is what? 20-ish MB/sec? ATA133 has theoretically got 133MB/sec (funnily enough) in burst mode or whatever the hell it?s called. Realistically, 50-75MB/sec with good HDs and other good h/ware. My point........ why plug up a slot that can handle many, very fast harddrives with something as crappy as a DVD burner? What a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
