jimwillsher Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Does anybody have any suggestions for sucking the maximum performance out of my discs? I have the following config :PIII 700768Mb SDRAMAdaptec 29160 card with2xQuantum Atlas 10K 9Gb1xQuantum Atlas 10K II 9GbXP Pro is installed to C:, ad my page file is split across D: and E: However, is there anything more I can do to boost the throughput - volumes, stripe sets, anything?Thanks,Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 fibre channelA fibre channel storage subsystems could easily be built around SCSI drives. Similarly, such a subsystem could be attached to a SCSI bus under a single SCSI ID, evading the SCSI limit of 16 attached devices per channel. Fibre channel is a serial data transfer architecture developed for use over fibre optic cable, although it can also be used over shielded twisted-pair copper cables at a reduced distance. Single-mode fibre lets you connect devices over a 10km span, which offers options for disaster recovery and mirroring, but is not of much interest for everyday applications. Multi-mode fibre, which is cheaper, can support distances of up to 2km.ANother thing are you using Ultra scsi 3?Ultra3 SCSI, as ratified by the SCSI Trade Association, includes five features that take it beyond the capabilities of the 80Mb/s Ultra2 SCSI generation. These are: double transition clocking; cyclic redundancy check (CRC); domain validation; packetisation; and quick arbitration and select SCSI SPI-3 standard.ALSO with regards to stripped sets, you might want to try this site, as it enlightened me very well.http://dvguide.sharbor.com/toasternt/suppo...-stripeset.htmlHope this helps,Big Booger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
