Hi, just installed 2 40gb baracuda 7200 rpm on my Highpoint raid conntroller of the asus A7M266-e and dont think the performance is nowhere near what it should be. HDTACH shows about 30mb/sec trancsfer and 12m seek. Sisoft sandra 2002 shows my harddrives below 2 striped ata 66 drives. Could this be due to the raid controller and USB ports sharing the same IRQs, which im finding imposible to change ??????? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply, Yeah i have noticed an increase in loading times of large files and games,which i was expecting but it was just these benchmarking software that had me wondering. I have had IBM deskstars 7200 for last 4 years but are terribly unreliable due to faults in newer drives, and the last 3 ibms iv had back this up LOL. Quite impressed though with the performance of the baracudas.
