I too am having RAID issues with a pair of WD15EARS drives. RAID0 and RAID1 on the Intel ICH controllers produces poor results. (20MB/s sustained write). However, when using windows disk management (Windows 7, 32bit) I was able to get great performance from a Striped array. (110 MB/s writes from other drives, 70MB/s internal copies) Mirrored arrays produced the same poor write results as the ICH arrays. Either there is something not quite right with the firmware, or WD and M$ will have to duke it out. I was hoping for data security, not a 3TB
I’ll give it a week to hear back from support, then these guys are going back for something else. Perhaps I cut myself on the bleeding edge of technology…
