Default Re: 6086 Error - H/W Buffer [Sandra report included]

First of all, i think the first thing people will say is that raid is not supported. However, if RAID is enabled at the hardware level (aka through bios) then it WILL work (iv done it). But i don't recommend it, as obviously it doubles your chance of losing data. Also, vista sucks. straight up. W7 and all the optimizations posted on the forum will get you going in no time. Lastly, i don't think media center edition is supported at all.

PS try not to partition your drives. i know its convenient to break up storage, but it will reduce performance if you happen to be doing operations to both partitions on the same physical drive. Like you said, the WD Caviar Black drives are your best bet. a 500 gig was 70 bucks CAD. good luck!
