Aποριες BIOS HDD options

Βoard ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2

Περναω για πρωτη φορα τον πρωτο μου SATA δισκο σε συστημα μου (Raptor 36.7)

Τι συνισταται στα παρακατω BIOS settings?

• SMART [enable/disable]
  
• 32 bit transfer [enable/disable]
  
• "NON-RAID" / AHCI
  
• SATA PHY DELIMITER [enable/disable]
  

απο οτι βλεπω ο Raptor ζεματαει, να τοu φορεσω ψυκτρουλα (φουφούρια) ή να τον αφησω ετσι δεν εχει αναγκη ?

[Cyber_Cookie]

Δεν έχει ανάγκη Nick.

Δες και εδώ αν εχεις χρόνο

όσο για τις ρυθμισεις,

* SMART [enable]

* 32 bit transfer [enable]

* "NON-RAID", αφου εχεις μονο έναν δισκο sata

* SATA PHY DELIMITER [enable/disable] αυτό δεν ξερω τι είναι.

939SLI32-eSATA2 motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions

for SATA / SATAII / eSATAII Devices in RAID / AHCI mode. ULi M1697

southbridge chipset provides hardware support for Advanced Host

controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SATA host

controllers developed thru a joint industry effort. AHCI also provides

usability enhancements such as Hot Plug. AHCI requires appropriate

software support (e.g., an AHCI driver, which is contained in our support

CD).

Εχει RAID / non-RAID / AHCI

Kαμια διαφορα ασφαλειας / ταχυτητας αναμεσα σε ΑΗCI Και non-RAID ?

Eπισης τι cluster size να του βαλω?

.

[deadlock7]

Θα πρότεινα το ide (δηλ non-raid),γιατί με το AHCI θές drivers,καθώς επίσης δεν είδα κάποια διαφορά σε ταχύτητα!

Τo Cluster size εξαρτάται από τη χρήση που κάνεις.Τα 32/64 είναι μια μέση λύση..

One of our servers uses 64KB block size. 700KB worth of cookie data

can easily take 120MB in user roaming profile directorys. This can be

copied to a 4KB block size partition and take around 7MB versus 120MB.

SQL server (MSDE) benefits from 64KB block size.

The benefit is if you have a bunch of large files (on a second drive,

don't do this on you Windows system drive), you get better performance

when loading/saving the files. If you setup a second drive just to

store a bunch of GB MPG files, the 64KB block size makes more sense.

This usually isn't worth it, though. If you want to increase your

performance, setup a RAID 0 across 2 or 3 drives. If you have two

drives that can sustain 50MB/s and you put them in RAID0 you can

realize 90-100MB/s sustained.

more clarification on disk modes

---------------------------------------------------------------

Intel® Matrix Storage Technology

Changing and/or choosing Serial ATA modes

Serial ATA (SATA) modes

The SATA controller has three modes of operation:

IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID

SATA mode (sometimes called AHCI mode) - AHCI enabled, no RAID

RAID mode - AHCI enabled, RAID enabled

NOTE: Your system may not have all three options, depending on the motherboard manufacturer and model.

The SATA mode in the system BIOS determines which operating mode your system is using, whether you need the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager, and which I/O controller you should choose during the F6 installation process.

IDE mode uses a different driver than SATA and RAID mode.

IDE mode uses a native Microsoft* driver and does not require the F6 installation method.

SATA and RAID mode both use the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and require the F6 installation method.

Configuring the BIOS

In order to enable RAID or AHCI mode on an Intel® motherboard, you will need to do the following:

To enable RAID mode:

Enter the BIOS

Select Advanced

Select Drive Configuration

Enable Intel® RAID Technology

If you want to set up your RAID configuration, reboot and press CTRL-I when prompted. This will allow you to enter the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM user interface, where you can set up your RAID.

If you want to make the system RAID Ready, no further action is required.

Save changes and exit the BIOS configuration

To enable AHCI mode:

Enter the BIOS

Select Advanced

Select Drive Configuration

Disable Intel RAID Technology

Enable SATA AHCI mode

Save changes and exit the BIOS configuration

NOTE: If you are using a SATA hard drive, the best choice is to set your BIOS to RAID mode and install the operating system using the F6 installation procedure; RAID mode allows your system to be "RAID Ready" and also enables AHCI. This mode provides the greatest overall flexibility and upgradeability.

WARNING: Switching SATA modes in the BIOS after installing the operating system is not recommended when a SATA drive is the boot drive. Switching modes may cause an "NTLDR" error, an immediate blue screen error followed by a reboot, or another boot failure.

This applies to: Intel® Matrix Storage Manager

One site defines PHY as:

1. The Serial Bus protocol layer that translates the logical symbols used by the link layer into electrical signals on Serial Bus media. The PHY is self-initializing. PHY arbitration guarantees that only one node at a time is sending data. The mechanical interface is defined as part of the physical layer.

Delimeters are the "Start of word" and "End of word" singnal when sending data over the SATA bus, much like the handshake routine used in a dial up modem negotiation.

Since the the PHY layer shapes the command interface, setting "Sata PHY Delimeter" to enabled or Auto (I believe) is only for programming compatabilty.

Nαι λεει αληθεια γιατι απλα διαβαζει το SMART δηλαδη οτι του λεει ο δισκος.Μπορεις να δεις και ολα τα info του SMART στο Storage/Smart που εχει το everest.
