No... if you read carefully, he says 230MBps... big 'B', meaning bytes. 230MB/s seems a reasonable clip to me. (Admittedly, I think we're used to seeing megabits as "Mbps" and megabytes as "MB/s", so I can understand the confusion.)

That Poor Ole CPU....

raid 5 IS AMOUNG fASTEST & vISTA jUST CANN'T TAKE IT.Only along Route 66 can any 6 number exist, especially RAID, Mappless terrritory as it dosn't exist. Yet, Now as edges smooth in on 7, Wow, Could Mainboard take RAID 5 on 6 TB of Files, Especially GAME files? Call It AirCraft Carrier or At Least Atomic Bomb. drashek

No RAID 6

No RAID 6 leaves only 1 & 10 as safe levels to use. RAID 5 is quite dangerous, the chance for dual failure and total loss is too great.

That said, implementing RAID 6 makes only sense with 5 or more drives, 6-12 is optimal.

Slow?

230Mbps? So it is slower than a single sata 2 connection?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
