disk bench (raid)


xbit

Recommended Posts

hello! very new reg'ed user here.

 

i have a raid0 using windows raid. the disk bench shows I can bench each drive independently but not the drive letter itself.  so if i move forward w/ a bench is it just testing the one drive or both in the raid0 config?

 

thanks!

AIDA64 Disk Benchmark handles physical drives, as they are managed by Windows.  In case you have a RAID array defined, the RAID array will appear as a single physical drive in Windows, hence AIDA64 will treat it as a single drive, and will benchmark it as a single drive.  In such case e.g. for a RAID0 array of 2 drives, both drives will be benchmarked in the same time, and their theoretical performance will be added up (aggregated).

 

If you have a RAID array defined, there's no way to benchmark the individual drives (member drives) separately.  AIDA64 also doesn't have file system benchmarks, so for example you cannot benchmark C: drive or D: drive separately, if they're 2 partitions of a physical drive.
