Thanks for the info. My Areca card has info and options for this in the BIOS but nothing about it is listed in the manual. I email Areca tech support about it but they couldn't really tell me anything. (That was very disappointing.)

Hi Everyone, I am hoping I can get some clarification on a feature my Areca ARC-1226 RAID card has. When I attach a SAS drive to it, the card give me the options to reformat the drive to 520-byte sectors. When I do that, there is a status field in the drive information panel of the controller...

In case anybody is interested, I did some benchmarking by populating different memory slots to see what, if any, performance impact may occur. Keep in mind these are synthetic benchmarks. I used Intel's Memory Latency Tester (v3.10), Phoronix Test Suite (v10.8.4) and AIDA64 Extreme (v6.88). -...

I'm guessing I'm only using a tiny portion of the capabilities of the system for my immediate needs, so latency probably isn't an issue for me. I just tend like things to be optimized as much as possible. But as a fun experiment, is there a benchmark utility that can be used to test...

Hello Patriot, Thank you for the information and reply. If I am understanding what you are telling me... All of the memory channels are connected to a single IO-die so it really doesn't matter which memory channels are used from a performance standpoint. The "optimized to 4 channels" is a...
