  1. Problem with software RAID


    I have four 4TB drives I created a software RAID 5 on. When accessing the volume, specifically writing to it, my PC becomes noticeably less stable; as in, a video's audio stream stopping for a few milliseconds like when playing a really high-bitrate file from a hard drive that can't quite keep up.

    Could the way I have set up my drives be a problem? Three drives are connected via a PCI controller card, while the fourth drive is connected directly to the mainboard (it's difficult to explain - but it's my only option to connect the drives, other than buying a new controller card).

    One more thing: I originally wanted to go with hardware RAID and bought a used 3ware RAID controller. Sadly, there seem to be no W10 drivers, resulting in the RAID volume not being recognized by Windows.

    software raid discovery

    Hello,

    Software RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a form of
    RAID performed on the internal server. RAID is a data protection method that can be in the form of hardware or software, depending on where the processing occurs.

    This kind of issue is more complex than what is normally posted here in the Community. We suggest that you post your query in our
    TechNet Forum for further assistance.

    Regards.

    Problem with software RAID

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
