raid tests

[Mark]

(1) ok here is the deal got my new box going and was tryin to test the disk speed,in sandrasoft it just will not finish , how long does this take usually ?

(2) i can do a test in passmark 3.5 which i got from here
http://www.passmark.com/ and this is the result.



(3) these scores seem alittle low to me or are they ?

(4) now for the really dumb question when i installed my 2 hard drives for raid 0 to the onboard raid controller i set them both to master and pluged each one into a seperate IDE connector that are for the raid.

is this the proper way to plug them in ?

please don't laugh , well i said i was a newbie at this so go ahead.

If you read the info on the disk part, it explains that it's dependent on how much memory you have. The more, the longer it takes....

At a gig of memory, you should be done by Christmas if you start right now.
