I build a computer with a raid5, using the motherboards raid controller (ASUS P7H57D-V EVO – intel Rapid Storage Technology). The read and write are however very slow, when using the raid controller 🙁 – I am using Windows 2008 R2, and when using the windows software raid, it was ok in speed – so there must be an issue with the controller? Im using 6 disks on 2TB each.
Do anyone have any idea why its so slow, and how to fix it? I rather not pick the easy solutiuon of "just buy a raid controller" 😐
If you need more info about my setup, please just ask.
Thanks 🙂

Did you just build the array? its possible that it is still syncing all the drives. on a 5x1TB array it took me 9 hours and during that time it was very very slow as there was a lot of background processing and writes.
