These are not the result that you should've get, did you actually short stroke it or are you using both sides? The short (outer part) and the rest of the unformated partition?

Well when i was setting up raid
It asked me to change parition size form 1000gb
and i chose 100gb (50gb per drive)
Windows also sees it as a 100gb drive
I thought i did it right since my access time dropped
So did i do it wrong?

Technically you did right (I'm no pro at Short Stroking), but it may be the integrated RAID controller than doesn't delivers.
Since it's minimum speed is lower. but at least the max speed is higher.

Well what i did was
It asked me what size i wanted to set my raid array in the bios
i put 100gb
So i think i did it right
I can not see the 900gb in windows
Edit: Just checked under disk management and there is only the 100gb
I think i did it right

This means that the hard drive is still going to seek the other parts of the platter because all of the drive is usable. |
