Subject: hard drive system ?
Original Message Date: 16-Jan-03 @ 03:35 PM - hard drive system ?
Has any of u ever used an ATA 100 RAID card (onboard or additional) to record tracks via a soundcard ?
I now own an Echo Mia (not installed yet), and I'm thinking about how it would work (how many tracks, how fast), with such a disk controller...
Usually, they're used for servers...
Any hint about that ?

I would DEFINITELY consider running at a lower sampling rate if I were you. 96k is nice, no doubt, but the overhead for it is a bitch. I'm sure you'd rather get some mixing horsepower for your buck. and upgrade to Sonar!

marian - remember the huge SoS thread about their cards? - can you try another card possibly? (borrow one mebbe?) - and have you installed all the VIA (if via chipset) patches?... there's a new 'all in one' 4:1 driver for all VIA sets available at their site - (one of which is the via busmaster controller which does drive transfer tasks. However, the card is the end destination for data being streamed so if that's buggered in some way it'll reduce track rates as will a crappy card or a crappy driver
is your card in slot 3 ?

4 in 1 ? Hum, no, I guess I've not installed this ! Never had to, or thought so... Gonna check it on ;-)
And I can't borrow another soundcard (but my cheap soundblaster), 'cause I'm the only musician among my friends :-(
Should be a software bios update, this 4 in 1 ?
For VIA chipset ? Hum, right... Let's hunt on the web :-) I'll keep in touch, thanks to all of u !
