Best way to spread 4 SATA drives across six controller ports?
« on: October 05, 2009, 05:43:21 pm »
The GA-P55-UD6 comes with 6 SATA ports controlled by the P55 chipset.

I've got four identical drives that I was planning to use for some sort of RAID array.  I plugged them into ports 0, 1, 2, and 3.

I'm wondering if I wouldn't get better throughput if I picked a different configuration, like 0, 2, 3, and 4.

Does anybody know anything about that?

As far as i'm aware 0,1,2 & 3 will be the best configuration  :)
There's no place like ::1

Pottypete, it's the most unusual way of data wiping :P I have ever seen. Thanks for the link mate, I had a lot of fun watching it
