xbit Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 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! --- http://x-bit.org/blackdragon/ CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz (x45) CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD65 ATX LGA1155 Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Storage: [OS drive] Crucial M4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Storage: [RAID 0] WD VelociRaptor 500GB 3.5" 10k RPM Storage: [RAID 0] WD VelociRaptor 500GB 3.5" 10k RPM Storage: [back-up] Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Video Card: Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 2GB Case: Corsair 650D ATX Mid Tower Power Supply: Corsair Pro 850W 80 PLUS Gold Certified Optical Drive: LG UH12NS29 Blu-Ray, DVD/CD Writer Monitor: Asus VH236H 23.0" OS: Win7 Pro Quote
Fiery Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 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. Regards, Fiery Quote
