Hey! I've learned quite a few things since we last spoke. 1) My board does have RAID in BIOS, it only shows up once CSM is disabled. 2) The AMD RAID driver is defective in some manner, I get 60% lower IOPs and 15% lower sequential, particularly on the writes, compared to Dynamic Disks stripe. I even zero'd my drive in the hopes it was TRIM related, but no change in performance was observed 3) Dynamic disks (striping done through Computer Management) is the fastest option (1,000,000 IOPs with 17GB/s writes) 4) Dynamic disks should NOT be used however, because it doesn't support TRIM 5) The alternative, Windows Storage Spaces, gave me similar performance to the BIOS RAID, and TRIM is supported...but it's no where near where I was with dynamic disks... 6) Individual VOLUMES or RAIDABLE drives in BIOS RAID, when put into the same dynamic disk configuration as I had before, still fail and only give the 60% performance Going to disable NVMe RAID and reinstall my OS until I figure out what's going wrong, or until I buy that on device RAID card from Highpoint we spoke about.
@hacked21233 жыл бұрын
Confirmed: after OS re-install with BIOS RAID removed, I am now hitting my 1,000,000 IOPs instead of 400,000 that I saw in BIOS RAID0 and and BIOS VOLUME/RAIDABLE configutations that are identical to this.

Better to have 5,000MBps or 7,000MBps! We will keep that in mind! Hard to justify unless or until a Client comes forth to provide the means. Otherwise We could discuss the technology.

The Gigabyte Aorus M.2 x16 Drive Sequencing is Sequential. Whereas on the ASUS Hyper M.2 x16, the order is 1, 3, 4, 2. And that affects the RAID Array arrangement. That's why We lost performance. We lost a Drive from lost clusters. Of Our options, the end result would be the same. Destroy or Delete the RAID array and recreate. Then install Windows Bootable RAID again. Practice makes perfect! And now You have low performance too!?! Working on a Video for what We've been doing for Slow Performance on the ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 AIC as described above. Spent 2 days testing. 5 hours Filming. Delete the RAID, Tested Drives individually. Even installed a single different Drive to better understand Drive Sequencing. Then Windows RAID. Tested that. Then Hybrid Bios for Windows Bootable RAID.

Both are Bifurcated since they both can accept 8 M.2 NVMe Drives and both require a x16 Lane Slot electrically. However, the Liqid Honey Badger, if We have to ask the price... At over twice what the Highpoint costs, a premium for that performance. Whereas, the Highpoint AIC is $1,000 but non Bootable. Have no idea if the Liqid Honey Badger is Bootable. Which is really a bummer. Can You imagine using a Liqid Honey Badger on a WRX80 Workstation? Wow! The Liqid Honey Badger will of course be faster than the Highpoint but at more than twice the price. Options! But, with PCIe 5.0 due out soon, this all changes again. Good question! If You Buy that Server Component for a Workstation, keep Us posted on Your progress! Don't expect We'll ever see that on Amazon. Never say never! Time will tell! We'd love to test one but that's not going to happen either. We'd love to do an emissivity reading while running a Test since they use stacked Drives. Would make for an interesting Video! Liqid should do more to promote more.

Hi OKTAY, Welcome! There appears to be a load balancing issue when using less than 4 drives. Performance is better with 4 Drives. However, in RAID 0 the Tests indicate with 4 Drives, You attain the Speed of 3 Drives due to overhead for RAID configuration. PCIe 5.0 per NVMe will be up to 15,000MBps. Which means, new Chipsets, new Motherboards and everything else. BTW: Windows 11 is due out June 24, 2021 at 11:00 AM ET. Why is that important?

Hi margovincent22x, Welcome! Only if You have a Dedicated x16 PCIe Slot, electrically. Most x570s do not. They have Shared PCIe Resources. Great question. Thanks for asking! BTW: Which x570 Motherboard are You using? Be happy to look it up and extrapolate that info for You!

Hi@@margovincent22x, Right now, doing Your Research to explore Your options is a good thing! 1st, is RAID a need or a want? Suggest, Keep it Simple. And inexpensive. So You can experience the technology. And experiment. 2nd, There are 3 types of RAID. 1. Hardware RAID 2. Hybrid Bios RAID 3. O/S software RAID 2 and 3 can be achieved with a Quad card. 1 requires a Broadcom MegaRAID. Then You have the M.2 NVMe Drives. Same Drives work on all of them! Hope that helps!
