=0A    I have just installed two 500G SATA discs from Seagate, model=0AST35=
00641AS in an ASUS M2N-E motherboard (nVidia MCP55 chipset).  Since=0Athis =
is a home desktop and I need dual boot, I used nVidia's RAID=0Atechnology t=
o create the array, while still using the previous disks for=0Abooting.=0A=
=0A    Well, the suggested device to control these disks, IIRC, is ataraid,=
=0Aso I went for it.  But its performance was incredibly slow.  I had less=
=0Athan half a megabyte per second in a raw transfer (dd).  Formating 100G=
=0AUFS2 partitions take more than a minute.  And all this was drivers=0Afau=
lt, as far as I could notice from "systat -v" output.  The array was=0Aoper=
ating near 100% capacity.  While running newfs, and this I remember=0Afor s=
ure, the array was performing at 4 (four!) transfers per second,=0Aand near=
 100% load.=0A=0A    I also noticed that ataraid does not integrate with GE=
OM.  Shouldn't=0Ait be by now?=0A=0A    Just to be sure it was no defect in=
 disks, they worked perfectly in=0AWindows XP.  So my solution was to build=
 a whole disk RAID1 device using=0Agmirror, but now I have two independent =
and non-interoperational RAID=0Atechnologies.  Indeed, I am very luck that =
nVidia's RAID does not use=0Athe same sector as gmirror for metadata, or if=
 they use, that it does=0Anot clash.=0A=0A    After using gmirror, now I ha=
ve the RAID in its full performance,=0Agetting over 60Mbytes per second at =
raw reads, very near the 70MBps from=0Athe specs.  Could only be better if =
we already had NCQ working.=0A=0A    Now the question: Is this expected?  I=

on the last week's RELENG_6=0Asource build.  The CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2=
